Do you want to help influence the City of Richmond’s work on the environment, child care, theatre, public art, seniors or food security?
The city is looking for 65 volunteers for several committees that provide input into a wide array of municipal services.
The city is now accepting applications for 2023 for its 17 committees – the application deadline is Oct. 3.
The groups meet regularly to discuss local issues, explained Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie in a press release.
“In this way, advisory committees play a key role in local government by bringing local expertise and perspective to the forefront. It’s a great way for people who have specialized skills or who are passionate about a given area to contribute to the City,” said Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie in a press release.
The council-appointed roles are voluntary with no remuneration. Committee sizes vary, as do the length of terms.
Those interested in applying should submit their completed online application form and resume by 5 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 3.
Application forms and information on the various committees, their mandates and terms of reference are available online.
