Respectful behaviour preserves the inherent dignity of everyone; therefore it is important that Board meetings be conducted in an environment that is productive, orderly and respectful of Board members, staff and members of the public."

Board Meeting Agendas are provided prior to each Board meeting as a synopsis of items scheduled to be discussed. The Administration Office prepares the agenda and board package for distribution to board members 3 days prior to the board meeting.

Board Meeting Agendas will be available to the public on the day of the meeting after a motion to approve the agenda has been passed.

For topics that will be addressed at each meeting, please visit Policy 2 Appendix A Annual Work Plan.
