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); for statutory holidays; and for 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.
Once approved by Council, notice of the availability of the 2025 Schedule of Regular Council and COTW meetings will be posted to the Municipal Hall and Recreation Centre Notice Boards, and advertised in the Victoria News. The notice will be posted online to the Township's "News and Notices" webpage, and linked in an e-mail notification for distribution through the Public Notice subscription service. Additionally, the updated list of meetings will be listed on Township's online Community Events Calendar, and Legistar meeting website.
Should Council wish to approve the proposed 2025 meeting schedule, the following motion would be appropriate:
