Dundas Community Council

The Dundas Community Council meets, monthly, in the Council Chambers of Dundas Town Hall. The Council operates in an advisory capacity to Councillor Russ Powers and provides a forum to discuss various issues and concerns in the Community of Dundas.

The meetings usually take place on the third Wednesday of the month, are open to the public, and all are welcome. Please check below for actual meeting dates.

Five groups and five individual citizens-at-large comprise the membership of this advisory council. Each contributes to the diversity of view-points within the Community of Dundas and brings to the table a mixture of knowledge and concern that can only improve Russ' ability to be cognizant of the concerns of the citizens as a whole.

Meeting Agendas and Reports are available on-line.
