If you wish to participate in person, you can either email the Clerk's Office or call at 604-927-3010.
Comments must be limited to a five minute maximum and to the proposed application. The City's timer will be displayed on the screen, and will countdown the allocated speaking time. When your time has elapsed, the timer will change colours and a chime will sound to alert you that you need to conclude your remarks.
Comments are to be made to Council directly. Please do not direct questions or comments to the applicants, members of the audience, or members of staff.

The presentation must be submitted to the Clerk's Office via email prior to the meeting to ensure it can be displayed. On-screen materials provided at the meeting may not be compatible with the City's systems.
