With the BC Restart plan and new guidelines for public meetings, expanded in-person attendance at Parksville Council meetings is available to the public.
As per provincial public health order restrictions, the maximum number of residents who can be accommodated in the Parksville Civic and Technology Centre for a council meeting is 40, with ten spaces allocated to council and support staff, according to a release from the city.
Residents can also watch the meetings online.
To keep everyone safe, the city asks the public consider these points when attending a council meeting: please do not attend in-person unless fully vaccinated; masks are mandatory at all times while in the building; visitors must remain seated while in attendance at the council meeting; and residents should stay home if sick or not feeling well.
Council meetings are web-streamed live and archived on the city’s website, with highlights of meetings posted to the website.
Council agendas are posted to the website and comments related to the agenda may be submitted by phone (250 954-3060), or by email to council@parksville.ca, by 9 a.m. on meeting day.
Council meetings are held the first and third Monday of the month, starting at 1 p.m.
