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. Members of Sub- Committees are appointed by Council. 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.
