Community Services Advisory Committee

Council passed C-1342-24 - Community Services Advisory Committee Bylaw establishing the Community Services Advisory Committee (CSAC) to provide advice and recommendations to Council and Administration on a range of community safety, recreation, culture and social issues impacting the City.
