Request to Speak at a Council/Committee Meeting

Participation in Council and Committee meetings is available in person and remotely. Enhanced security processes to access the building, including a security screening and bag check, are in place. Please allow for ample time to complete these processes before your meeting start time. City Hall can be accessed through the South West and South East entrances only.

You may participate remotely via a computer, laptop, tablet or phone. For further details, please read the Remote Participation Instructions.

Those wishing to view in-progress meetings, but not participate, can watch via councilontheweb.edmonton.ca, the Council Chambers YouTube Channel, River Valley Room YouTube Channel or the Councillors' Boardroom YouTube Channel.

If you are speaking on behalf of another person, the person will need to complete an Authorization to Speak on Someone's Behalf form (available on edmonton.ca/meetings in the City Clerk FAQs) and provide the signed form to the Office of the City Clerk in hard copy or electronic form to city.clerk@edmonton.ca.

Personal information is collected for the purpose of processing this request to speak in alignment with our meeting management procedures. Collection is authorized under section 4(c) of the Protection of Privacy Act (POPA) and is managed and protected in accordance with the Act. The City intends to input the information into an automated system to generate content or make decisions, recommendations or predictions in accordance with the City of Edmonton Generative AI Standard (see Council Policies, Standards section).

All City Council, Standing Committee, and Public Hearing meetings are recorded. Public participation in these meetings, including any verbal reports or presentations delivered during these meetings, are recorded and included in the official meeting record. All meeting recordings and corresponding documentation are available for viewing at www.edmonton.ca/meetings.

Please note: Members of the public have the right to request to speak to items, but Council does not generally hear from members of the public at City Council meetings (aside from Non-Statutory Public Hearings). The Members of Council consider public input in advance of City Council meetings either through correspondence or at meetings of Standing Committees of Council (Executive, Community and Public Services, Urban Planning, etc.). Council will make the decision whether to hear from registered speakers at the beginning of the Council meeting.  Correspondence can be submitted to city.clerk@edmonton.ca. 

If you have any questions about the collection of this information, please contact the Office of the City Clerk at 780-496-8178 or 1 Sir Winston Churchill Square, Edmonton, AB T5J 2R7.
