Making a Presentation to Council

Atikokan Town Council welcomes presentations from members of the public regarding matters that concern them, however, you may only address Council at a Council or Committee of the Whole meeting if you have been added to the agenda as a delegation. To submit a delegation request, please complete the Delegation Request Form and submit it to the Clerk’s Department no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Thursday prior to the Council or Committee of the Whole meeting you are requesting to attend.

Although rare, your request to appear before Council may be denied by the Clerk or CAO. If this happens an alternate method to have the subject matter dealt with will be explored.
