View Royal Adjusts Council Meeting Time to Support Public Participation

On July 2, 2025, View Royal Town Council adopted Procedure Bylaw No. 677, 2007, Amendment Bylaw No. 1155, 2025, officially changing the start time for all Council and Committee of the Whole meetings to 6:00 p.m.

The updated meeting schedule is aimed at improving accessibility and making it easier for more people to take part in local government. The shift also helps accommodate those with daytime commitments by moving Committee of the Whole meetings from 3:30 p.m. to early evening. With this change, Council hopes to reduce barriers to participation and encourage more residents to consider running for office in the 2026 municipal election.

The bylaw also introduces a formal Consent Agenda process, allowing routine and non-controversial items to be grouped and addressed in a single motion. This is aimed at streamlining meeting procedures while preserving transparency.

The new meeting times take effect immediately. Upcoming meeting dates and agendas are available on the Town's website.
