Council and committee meetings

A public participation meeting is a forum where members of the public can share their opinions, concerns and feedback on specific item(s) listed on a Standing Committee agenda. Each agenda will specify which item(s) are public participation.  If an item is not listed as “PUBLIC PARTICIPATION”, members of the public are welcome to submit written communications to the Committee or to the Members of Council prior to the meeting.  

Anyone wishing to speak at a Public Participation Meeting can do so by:

• attending in person; or
• using Zoom online or by phone.

To participate virtually:

• You must pre-register by emailing PPMClerks@london.ca or by calling 519-661-2489 ext. 7100 no later than 9:00 AM on the day of the meeting.
• Specify the meeting and item when you register.
• Directions on how to participate virtually will be provided upon registration.

All speakers (in-person and virtually) will be limited to five minutes for their comments.

Delegation speaking requests

Council welcomes and encourages public input.  There are many ways to engage with Council, such as attending public participation meetings or contacting Council Members directly.  If there is an item of interest on a standing committee agenda, you can submit a written communication or request delegation status at the meeting.  Please note that delegation requests from members of the public that are not related to items on a standing committee agenda will not be accepted.

As per the Council Procedure By-law, no delegation requests are to be heard at Council meetings.

Registering to speak as a delegation

• All delegation requests must relate to a matter(s) listed on a standing committee agenda.
• The delegation request must in writing, indicate which matter it pertains to, and meet agenda deadlines.
• If the request is deemed appropriate, the request for delegation will be placed on the standing committee agenda.
• Once in the meeting, delegation requests will only be heard with approval of the standing committee.  The committee can grant the request at that meeting, refer it to another meeting, or deny the request.
• If the committee grants the request, the speaker has up to five (5) minutes to make their verbal presentation.

• Repeat delegations on the same subject are limited to the presentation of new information only.

  As per the Council Procedure By-law, no delegation requests are to be heard at Council meetings.
