Council Meetings

As your elected officials, Colwood Council provides the vision and direction for the City of Colwood. This vision is described in detail in the City's Official Community Plan.

With input from citizens, city staff, committees and other stakeholders, Council establishes bylaws and policies that are the basis for how we provide services and plan for the City's future.

Council meetings are normally held at 6:30 pm on the 2nd and 4th Monday of every month, except for the months of July, August (no meetings) and December which is held on the 1st and 3rd Monday. When the Monday is a Statutory Holiday the meeting moves to the following Tuesday.

Committee of the Whole Meetings

Committee of the Whole provides Council with a less formal setting where members of the public have opportunities to speak at the meeting and participate in discussion about agenda items. 

The goal of Committee of the Whole is to assist Council in making more durable decisions by giving them direct insight into the needs and priorities of community members before they are required to sit at the Council table and make a binding decision. Committee of the Whole is a place to encourage in depth discussion of topics, but it is not where decisions are made. If a decision is required, the committee will make a recommendation that will be voted on at an upcoming Council meeting.

Select and Standing Committees

Select and standing committees are in place to discuss issues related to a specific topic.
