  Why This Session Matters

  We live in a growing and changing municipality, facing complex issues that affect our daily lives—housing, infrastructure, services, growth, and community well-being. Navigating these changes can feel overwhelming, but local government is also where individuals can have the most direct impact.

  This session is designed to help demystify municipal governance and empower you with practical, accessible ways to engage—whether you’re just getting started or considering deeper involvement.

  
  

  Featured Speaker

  We’re pleased to welcome Judy Shantz, Director of Municipal Governance, who will share an informative presentation outlining the many ways residents can participate in local decision-making, including:

  • Watching Council meetings
  • Reviewing Council agendas
  • Making a deputation at Council
  • Contacting Councillors
  • Joining a Committee of Council or Board
  • Voting in municipal elections
  • Running for Council

  We’ll also be joined by members of Council, offering an opportunity to hear directly from elected representatives and participate in thoughtful conversation.

  
  

  This session is presented in partnership with the Municipality of Chatham-Kent.
