Council advisory committees are groups of residents and councillors appointed by Town Council to provide specialized advice on various community issues. These committees offer recommendations and insights to Council, helping shape policies, projects, and decisions that impact the Town of Lunenburg. They serve as a vital link between the council and the community, ensuring that local perspectives and expertise are considered in the decision-making process.
In contrast, a working group is formed to accomplish a specific task or project within a set timeframe. Working groups include members with relevant expertise, focusing on implementing initiatives or conducting detailed studies. They are temporary and disband once their objective is achieved.
In addition to advisory committees, Council members are appointed to various other committees and boards, including inter-municipal committees formed through shared service agreements, committees with partner municipalities, and optional external committees.
