Description

What Happens at a Town Hall?

There is no set agenda at Coquitlam's Town Hall Meeting - these more informal meetings are typically scheduled in advance and provide community members an opportunity to voice their opinions, suggest new ideas, and ask questions of Council. Senior City staff are also in attendance to respond to inquiries. 

The feedback provided at these sessions provides Council and staff important information about City services, changes taking place in the community and future opportunities.

How to Participate

Similar to regular meetings of Council, community members may choose to attend in person or participate virtually. Find out more at coquitlam.ca/councilmeetings. Everyone is welcome to participate:
