Community councils

Find out what’s happening at Community Council meetings and learn how you can get involved. 

The four Community Councils, each consisting of five to six districts, consider local matters, make recommendations to Regional Council, and provide opportunities for public input. 

You can find agendas, reports, and minutes online. You can also search for records of Community Council meetings.

Halifax and West, Harbour East - Marine Drive, and North West Community Councils have existed since December 2012. The Regional Centre Community Council was created in December 2019. Are you looking for information about previous Community Councils?
