Upcoming Public Hearing Information

A Public Hearing on the proposed Coastal Protection regulations will be held on Thursday, June 13, 2024.

At the Public Hearing, the public can make a formal oral submission to Council. Interested members of the public are highly encouraged to attend the Public Hearing as this is a critical part of the decision-making process. Regardless of any feedback you may have previously given, this is the key and final opportunity to provide input that will formally be considered by Council. Once the Hearing has concluded, Council is not permitted to consider any additional information until they make a final decision on the regulations at Second Reading.

The Public Hearing will consist of two separate sessions, with a break around 6:00 p.m. Residents do not need to attend both sessions. Those who wish to speak to Council at the Hearing will be allowed five minutes. Additional information will be given at the registration desk in the Municipal Office lobby.
