COUNCIL COMMITTEES
Standing Committees:
County Council utilizes a standing committee structure to facilitate the decision making process. Each standing committee meets regularly and the minutes of each committee then go forward to County Council for adoption. County Council also makes appointments to external boards and commissions.
Standing Committees are:
General Government Services - John Creelman, Chair
Infrastrucutre & Environmental Services - Bob Currie, Chair
Community Services/Dufferin Oaks/Museum Committee - Laura Ryan, Chair
Each Councillor is appointed to one of the Standing Committees. Committee Membership is changed each year in December. The Warden sits on all Committees as-of-right.

There are committees and boards that operate outside of the direct municipal influence, however, the municipality makes appointments to these bodies.
