Addressing Regional Council

You are required to first appear before the appropriate Standing Committee before addressing Regional Council.

Please submit a request in writing to the Regional Clerk. Your request must be submitted by noon on the Thursday preceding the Council meeting if you wish your name to be shown as a delegation on the Council agenda. Pursuant to Council’s Rules of Procedure, a minimum of 48 hours’ notice prior to the commencement of the Regional Council meeting is required. You may submit your request to clerks@durham.ca or by mail to: 605 Rossland Rd. E., PO Box 623, Whitby, ON L1N 6A3 or by fax to 905-668-9963. The request should include the subject matter, the name of the presenter, contact information (e.g. address, email, telephone), and any audio-visual requirements.

If you have handouts or information for Council, please provide 50 copies to the Clerk’s Department staff and we will distribute these prior to the meeting.

Because of the volume of business to be completed at Council, there is strict adherence to the ten minute limit for delegations. However, questions and answers are permitted. A delegation consisting of more than five persons shall be entitled to two speakers with each limited to speak for not more than ten minutes.
