Regular City Council meetings are generally held on Mondays at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers (City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way). On a day when there is a Public Hearing scheduled, the Regular Council Meeting is held following the adjournment of the Public Hearing.
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.
Council-in-Committee meetings are held on Mondays, at 2 p.m. in Council Chambers (City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way).
All members of Council are part of the Committee. Delegations from the public are typically received at Council-in-Committee Meetings.
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.
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 held on Mondays at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers (City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way) 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.

Accessibility
Accessibility is at the forefront of the services that the City of Coquitlam provides. We are committed to continuously removing any barriers to access through our policies, facilities, and public spaces. Delivering community facilities, infrastructure, neighbourhood plans and community recreation programs for people of all ages and ability are just a few examples of our commitment to accessibility.
Council Chambers now has a hearing loop installed for members of the public who use T-Coil supported hearing aids or cochlear implants. A hearing loop is a special type of sound system that supports people who use hearing aids and cochlear implants. The loop is installed in Council Chambers, as well as the Reception Desk. When you come to a Council Meeting you just simply need to turn your hearing aid on to the T-Coil setting if this is not automatic. The sound will come directly into your hearing aid or cochlear implant for you to fully participate in the event. There are signs at the entrance of Council Chambers in City Hall with more information available.
If you are hard of hearing but do not have T-Coil supported hearing aids or cochlear implants, please speak to a member of the Clerk's Office for additional support. You can contact the Clerk's Office for further information.
