Coffee with a Councillor is an opportunity for the public to meet their elected officials in an informal session over coffee (or tea! or water! etc.) at different locations throughout Lamont County. These are informal sessions in locations with small capacity. Councillors, the Reeve/Deputy Reeve and when relevant, Administration leadership, are there to answer your inquiries.
Drop in with your questions, feedback or ideas, Councillors look forward to connecting with residents and staying connected. Council wants to hear your voice, concerns, praises and suggestions. Stay informed!
These talks are informal discussions with attendees, and are held approximately monthly, with each Division hosting up to two sessions in both the a.m. and evening (alternating whenever possible) across Lamont County - to enable as many interested residents to attend. The dates and schedule are subject to change, and could be impacted by scheduling, Council direction, election year timelines, etc.
If you are unable to attend a session, see the summaries below, or contact your Councillor with questions or concerns at any time (lamontcounty.ca/governance/council).
