Before you decide to appear before Council, you may want to discuss the matter with a Council Member or Town of LaSalle Staff Member. Some matters may be addressed without the need to appear before Council. At the very least, the Council Member or Staff Member will advise you of next steps.
Speaking Before Council
Hybrid Meetings and Delegations
Members of the public can participate in Council meetings in-person or virtually. Meetings are open to the public and seats in the gallery have been reduced to allow for physical distancing. If you choose to attend in-person, please note that masking is optional at this time. If you wish to simply observe a meeting from your home, you can watch a livestream of the meeting on our YouTube Channel.
It is your responsibility to indicate if you require an accommodation. The Clerk will determine the best method to address the accommodation before the meeting. The meetings are broadcasted live on the Town of LaSalle's YouTube Channel. Delegates that participate virtually will form part of the recording.
Please use the below submission form for any delegation requests, presentation requests, or written submissions.

After you speak and answer any questions, Council may discuss the matter further and may make a decision. You do not have to stay for the whole meeting and can leave after Council has discussed your item.

Where there are numerous delegations taking the same position on a matter, they are encouraged to select a spokesperson to present their views.
