Good to know

• For whomAny member of the public who wants to address City councillors directly about an item on a committee agenda.
• They welcomeapplications
• Their own adviceRead the eligibility line first, then the deadline and the time zone. Apply from the official page only; keep a copy of what you submit. If it says rolling, apply early in the cycle.

We read all of this on their own website. If something has changed, tell us here. It takes 20 seconds, needs no account, and nothing is deleted: the old fact stays until a person checks yours.
