Why Wrenford has committees

Council delegates some of its work to committees. These groups look at specific topics, hear from residents and staff, and make recommendations before a final vote. Committees help make sure every ward has a voice and that decisions are well planned.

How to find committee members

Membership is announced by the City Clerk at the start of each year or when a vacancy occurs. Current lists, meeting dates, and agendas are posted on the Council committees and boards page.

Standing committees

  • Planning and Environment Committee — Meets the first Tuesday of every month. Reviews development applications, zoning changes, and environmental plans.
  • Committee of Adjustment — Meets the third Wednesday of every month. Handles minor variances to the Zoning By-law and consents for lot severances. Contact the Secretary-Treasurer, Farid Haddad, for scheduling and filing details.
  • Policing Committee — Oversees the Wrenford Police Service Board and reviews policing priorities and budgets.
  • Public Art Committee — Advises on the placement of public art and manages the City's percentage-for-art program.

Advisory and task-force committees

  • Affordable Housing Strategy Committee — Meets the second Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. in City Hall, Room 301. Reviews housing needs, tracks the Provincial Housing Accelerator Fund, and recommends zoning changes. Requires at least one citizen member with lived experience of housing insecurity.
  • Civic Asset Naming Committee — Reviews and approves names for new parks, buildings, and streets.
  • Regional Collaboration Committee — Coordinates with neighbouring municipalities on shared services and infrastructure.
  • Community Advisory Committees — Ward-based groups that give feedback on local projects and neighbourhood plans.

What committee members do

Members review staff reports, attend monthly meetings, and listen to public input. They do not speak for the City on independent boards like the Library Board or the Wrenford Police Service Board, but they help shape the policies that guide them. All meetings are livestreamed and recorded.

How to apply or ask a question

Residents can apply to serve on advisory and task-force committees year-round. Applications are screened by the City Manager's office before Council makes appointments. See Apply to serve on a city committee for the form and eligibility rules. If you need information about a specific committee's membership or how to speak at a meeting, contact the Council meeting support team.

Visit Council and Mayor and council for the full roster of elected officials. Review the By-laws that give each committee its authority. Agendas and meeting minutes are posted online a few days before each session. If you want to speak at a committee meeting, you must register by the deadline listed on the agenda. See Speak at a council meeting for steps and time limits.
