Town of Canmore

Council Clips – October 25, 2022

Every October, Council holds an organizational meeting to:

  • Set their regular meeting schedule,
  • Appoint deputy mayors, and
  • Appoint council members and members of the public to boards and committees

Council Meeting Schedule

Council will hold a regular business meeting on the first Tuesday of every month at 9 a.m. (except for in January when it will be held Jan. 10) and the committee of the whole meeting is scheduled for the third Tuesday of every month at 1 p.m. No meetings will be scheduled between July 5 and Aug. 14. Details can be found here: https://canmore.ca/town-hall/town-council/council-meetings

Deputy Mayor Schedule

The deputy mayor acts as mayor when the mayor is unable to perform his duties, or if the office of the mayor becomes vacant. Council continued their tradition of approving an annual roster where each councillor is appointed as deputy mayor for a two-month period. You can see the schedule here: https://canmore.ca/town-hall/town-council/meet-town-council

Committee and Board Appointments

Council appointed public members to committees, and appointed council reps to all internal and external committees. Thank you to everyone who applied to help us on these committees; there were more applicants than vacant positions. We will be notifying public member applicants before we update our website, but by the end of this week you will be able to see which public members were appointed by visiting https://canmore.ca/town-hall/boards-committees.
