Information for Candidates

As a member of Council you will face demands of your time. In addition to regular meetings, you will be expected to attend special meetings, sit on committees and attend various public meetings and functions. To get an idea of how much time is involved consider speaking to a current Councillor.

A Council Orientation Calendar of Events for important meetings, events, and orientation activities will be posted closer to the 2029 Municipal Election.

County Councillors serve a four-year term. This term begins at the first meeting of Council after the election and continues until the first meeting of Council after the next election, unless their offices are vacated sooner.
