Would you like to speak during Public Participation?

Option 1: Register in advance
Zoom is available as an option for pre-registered speakers only.
Contact the Municipal Clerk's Office no later than 4:30 p.m. on November 28, 2025:
- Send an email to lovasia@halifax.ca If you’re signing up via email and you don’t receive a response from us within one business day, phone our office at 902.490.4210 to confirm receipt. Please ensure you check your email’s junk/spam folder regularly.

In your message, state that you wish to speak during Public Participation at the December 1, 2025 Halifax and West Community Council meeting, and give your name and community of residence, and whether you wish to speak in person or speak using Zoom.
If you’d like, you can let us know how to say your name using simple, sound-it-out spelling. (For example: for Leila Nahirah say “Lay-ah Nah-HEE-rah”).
Option 2: During the meeting
During the meeting, after all the pre-registered speakers have been called, the Chair will call three times to ask if there is anyone else present who would like to speak. If you are present in the meeting room you can indicate your wish to speak at that time.
PLEASE NOTE: All Community Council meetings will be audio and/or video recorded for the purpose of creating a record of the proceedings. If you do not wish to be recorded, do not sign up to speak; you can provide a written submission via clerks@halifax.ca.
