TOWNSHIP OF ESQUIMALT MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: November 2, 2026 Report No. ADM-26-039
TO: Council
FROM: Jonah Ross, Corporate Services Advisor
SUBJECT: 2027 Schedule of Regular Council and Committee of the Whole Meetings
INFORMATION:
In accordance with the Community Charter and Council Procedure Bylaw, 2022, No. 3081, Council must annually make available to the public a schedule of the dates, times, and places of Regular Council and Committee of the Whole (COTW) meetings and must also give notice to the public regarding the availability of the schedule of meetings.
The attached draft schedule has been adjusted as outlined by the Council Procedure Bylaw for the annual conventions of the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities (AVICC), Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), and Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM), and for statutory holidays, and Council’s summer recess. These adjustments ensure that the first and last meeting of each month are Regular Council meetings, and the second meeting of each month is COTW, where feasible. With the accommodations for the Labour Day statutory holiday and the timing of the UBCM conference, there are only two meeting nights scheduled for September, rather than the usual three. The draft 2027 schedule proposes 22 regular Council meetings and 10 Committee of the Whole meetings.
Once approved by Council, notice of the availability of the 2027 Schedule of Regular Council and COTW meetings will be posted to the Public Notices section of the Township’s website and advertised in the Victoria News. The 2027 schedule of meetings will also be posted to the Municipal Hall and Recreation Centre Notice Boards and Township’s website and linked in an e-mail notification for distribution through the Public Notice subscription service. Additionally, the 2027 meeting dates will be listed on the Township’s online Community Events Calendar and Legistar meeting website.
