Regular City Council meetings are held three Mondays a month, at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers (City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way).
After any Regular Council meeting is adjourned, up to 15 minutes are allotted for the public to ask Council questions related to any item on the agenda.
How to stay informed on Council Meetings:
- Agendas are available online by 3 p.m. on Friday
- Sign up for Council News direct emails
- The 2023 Council and Committee calendar can be viewed here or downloaded here (PDF)
In-Camera Meetings are "closed" meetings held in the absence of the public. Council is authorized to hold in-camera meetings under the circumstances set out in Section 90 of the Community Charter.
In-Camera meetings are generally held in the afternoon immediately following Council-in-Committee meetings.
Written Submissions
To make a written submission to Council or Committee about a matter on a meeting agenda or within the jurisdiction of the City, email your letter or comments to Mayor and City Council or fax to 604-927-3015. Your letter must be signed and include your name and address. Please note that, in most instances, written and email correspondence addressed to Mayor and Council become public documents once received by the City.
Public Hearings are held in order for local residents to provide input that will assist Council in the decision making process related to applications for change to an Official Community Plan or Zoning Bylaw. Public Hearings are generally held on the fourth Monday of each month in the Council Chambers at Coquitlam City Hall and are immediately followed by a Regular Council Meeting at which Council will give consideration to items on the Public Hearing agenda, as well to any other items brought before Council at that time.
