Sub-Committees are established by Council and are comprised of some Members of Council and in certain circumstances also have citizen members. Sub-Committees report up to an assigned Standing Committee. When Sub-Committees hold a ‘meeting’ as that term is defined in the Municipal Act, 2001/the City’s Procedural By-law, it must comply with the open meeting provisions of the Municipal Act, 2001 and the City’s Procedural By-law as applicable.
Board Information
The Community Benefits Protocol Sub-Committee is created with the purpose to:
• Develop a protocol for the use and prioritization of Community Benefits Agreements in the City of Hamilton.
• Consider opportunities to include Social Procurement within publicly funded tenders.
• Create a venue to inform, connect and encouraged Community Benefits Agreements within the City.
A Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) is founded on a shared, legally binding commitment between government, the contracting firm and community to build and complete public infrastructure projects through an effective, efficient, transparent, fair and inclusive process that supports good jobs and prevailing industry standards.

The use of CBAs is in alignment with the Corporate Strategic Plan as it relates to:
