Richmondites looking to get more involved in local government can apply for a position on one of many advisory committees over the next month.

Richmond city council is calling on residents to apply for over 100 volunteer positions on committees that address a variety of specific, civic issues. The deadline to apply is Sept. 28.

“Richmond residents can make a positive impact on local government through Richmond’s long standing committees,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie in a press release.

“Through volunteering one’s expertise and time on any of the City’s advisory bodies, valuable insight can be shared to address a variety of specific areas of civic importance such as the environment, arts, culture, agriculture, youth and the economy.”

Advisory committees include a design panel, agricultural advisory, family and youth court, environment advisory, seniors advisory board and more.

Committees roles are all voluntary and are therefore unpaid.
