Recruitment of Volunteer Members for Transit Commission, Committees and Boards
You may be aware that, each year, the City of Ottawa appoints volunteer members to various committees and boards. Committees provide advice to City Council and contribute to the development of policies, programs and initiatives. Boards are the governing bodies for such entities as conservation authorities, the Cumberland Museum and the Pineview Municipal Golf Course. The City of Ottawa is launching its annual recruitment process for volunteer members to various committees and boards as well as the new Transit Commission. Ads will appear in local newspapers beginning January 14th and information is available at http://www.ottawa.ca/city_hall/mayor_council/advisory_committees/index_en.html In addition, open houses are planned between January 19 and 25 and the deadline for submitting applications will be February 4 with appointments to be approved by Council at the end of April.
