Annual remuneration for members of Council is paid in accordance with Council Remuneration Bylaw No. 2154. Council members are also able, if eligible, to participate in the Town’s extended benefits program.
Municipal Councils are elected to address the existing and future needs of their community by making collective decisions that are recorded in bylaws or resolutions. Each member of Council, including the Mayor, is entitled to one vote on matters that come before them for discussion and decision. There are a broad range of matters: regulatory bylaws such as animal control, services such as fire and police, land use regulation such as zoning, fees and property tax bylaws, and key plans such as the Official Community Plan and five-year Financial Plan (budget).
