1. Stay relevant to the Bylaw being considered by Council.
2. Be clear, concise and structured.
3. Connect to Municipal Policy.
4. Be respectful.
5. Understand that you may not get immediate feedback.
   1. Council will not debate matters during the Public Hearing.
6. Written and oral submissions are equally considered.

Generally, the Chair of the meeting will allocate 5 minutes for the speaker to make their presentation. Please consider this while preparing your presentations and be sure to prepare a written package to submit should your presentation exceed the allotted time.

How do I find out about upcoming public hearings?

Public hearings will be advertised in a newspaper and/or on the City’s website for two consecutive weeks prior to the Council meeting at which they are scheduled. Per the Municipal Government Act, the final advertisement must be placed at least 5 days prior to the hearing.

Currently, the City of Lloydminster places advertisements in local newspapers being circulated publicly within the community. A list of upcoming hearings can also be found below.
