Loyalist Township welcomes all members from the public to speak at our regular Council meetings. Individuals can speak to Council as a delegate or by participating in the open forum.
Requesting to be a delegation
To be a delegation at a Council meeting please submit our request to be a delegate form to the Clerk at clerk@loyalist.ca no fewer than five (5) business days preceding the Council meeting at which you wish to speak, detailing why you want to speak to Council. The Clerk or Deputy Clerk will contact you prior to the approval of the agenda to confirm that you have been listed on the agenda.
