Town of Coalhurst

A great place to live, work and play!

COMMITTEES AND BOARDS

Committees and Boards

Committees of Council help guide and shape the Town of Coalhurst. Committees provide Coalhurst Council with information, advice, and recommendations regarding important community issues and topics. With the implementation of Council’s new Council Committee Bylaw, the Town of Coalhurst is excited to invite the community to various committees.

Some of our committees are made up of a combination of citizens, Town staff representatives, and members of Council. Other committees are specifically for Council, which enables Council to carefully consider issues before a decision needs to be made at a Regular Meeting of Council. External Committees and boards are specific initiatives or groups that are not led by the Town of Coalhurst, however, Council deems it important to be part of.

All appointed members work together to bring their experience and expertise to achieve Council’s defined strategic plan.
