Meeting Agendas & Minutes

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. The standing committees are:

  • Community Development & Tourism
  • General Government Services
  • Infrastructure & Environmental Services
  • Health & Human Services

Each Councillor is appointed to sit on two of the standing committees. Committee membership is determined each year in December. The Warden sits on all committees.

The County of Dufferin also has four advisory committees made up of members of the public:

  • Access Dufferin Advisory Committee
  • Joint Compliance Audit Committee
  • Dufferin Outdoor Recreation Advisory Team
  • Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Community Advisory Committee
