Who is Council?
We all are! Council is made up of Mandated Members, Elected Members, Staff, Community Parent Volunteers, and Community Partners. We meet quarterly as a whole Council, and numerous times throughout the year to work on things like Early Childhood, Community Team, Planning, Public Policy, and the business of keeping Council moving forward.
