Municipal Government Affairs

The Municipal Affairs Committee is also tasked to develop and maintain relationships with key decision makers within the city's structure and to communicate Chamber policy to those decision makers and to the Chamber membership.

The Committee completes its work through an annual pre-budget submission and an annual issues note, both of which are submitteed to Regional Council. In addition, the Committee produces a Municipal Budget Report Card.

Current issues that are of importance to the Municipal Affairs Committee are listed in the Committee's work plan.
