Do you have an issue that you would like to bring to Regional Council's attention? At regularly scheduled Council Meetings, residents are welcome to present their issues via a delegation to Council.
Anyone who would like to appear as a delegation at a regularly scheduled council meeting must inform the Corporate Manager in writing by 3:00 pm on the Tuesday prior to the meeting. Requests should include the topic and any presentation materials.
Delegates have a presentation time limit of 15 minutes and are limited to no more than two spokespersons. Council may ask questions after the presentation for clarification. Please review the Delegation/Petition Policy for more information. For more information on Regional Council procedures, please view the Regional Council Procedure Bylaw.
Following a delegation's appearance, any Council decisions regarding requests are not usually made until later in the meeting or during the next regular meeting.
Helpful Suggestions for an Effective Presentation

- Direct your presentation to Northern Rockies Regional Council and follow council etiquette tips
- Be concise; keep your presentation brief and to the point.
