The Grand Bay-Westfield By-law Respecting Council Procedures and Organization requires that regular Council meetings that fall on a holiday, be held on the Tuesday immediately following the holiday. It has been past practice for Council to adopt a summer meeting schedule of one (1) meeting only in July and one (1) meeting only in August.
In addition, traditionally, the second Council meeting in December has been cancelled.
For any questions, comments or concerns related to the Council meeting dates, please contact the Town’s Chief Administrative Officer at (506) 738-6400.
