Presenting to Council
Engage with local leadership
Welcome to Council Delegations
The County welcomes residents, business owners, community groups, and local organizations to present at public Council meetings.
A presentation (or "delegation") is a formal appearance before County Council during an open meeting. Presenting allows you to directly address Council members and Senior Administration on matters affecting Lac Ste. Anne County. Common reasons to present include:
- Information Sharing: Updating Council on local non-profit initiatives, regional projects, or community events.
- Requesting Action or Support: Proposing community projects, requesting municipal funding, or seeking Council endorsement.
- Providing Input: Sharing feedback or expert perspective on County policies, services, or local developments.
