In the Town of Stouffville, we believe that communication between residents, Council and Town staff is a critical part of developing an effective and open municipal government. We encourage you to attend and provide your feedback at Council meetings.

A deputation is a person or group who wishes to address Council. Deputations may attend the meeting in-person or electronically and may only speak for five minutes on the subject matter indicated on the Deputation Request Form.

If you wish to speak to Council regarding a report on the agenda, you must submit a Deputation Request Form by 9 a.m. on the day of the meeting.

If you wish to speak to Council regarding a matter relating to community interest or Town business that is not on the agenda and has not been considered within six months prior to the requested date, you must submit a Deputation Request Form by the Monday, nine days prior to the Council Meeting.

A maximum of three Deputations for matters not on the agenda shall be permitted per meeting.

If you cannot attend a meeting, you may submit written correspondence that will be circulated to Council prior to the meeting. Correspondence must be received by 12 p.m. the business day prior to the meeting.

For more information about participating at a Council meeting or to submit correspondence to Council on a topic listed on an agenda, please email councilmeetings@townofws.ca.
