Individuals are asked to step forward to the podium and state their name and provide their delegation through the microphone or other means as applicable for accessibility purposes.

Please Note that USB keys with delegation material are prohibited.

The appropriate way to address Council is to preface their surname with Mayor or Councillor, for example, Mayor Thompson.
All questions or comments shall be made through the Chair.
Delegates must provide a copy of their speaking notes and any additional information they present for inclusion in the public record.
