Public Hearings
Public hearings are an opportunity for people who are affected by projects or proposals to address Clearwater County Council during regular Council meetings. Public hearing are required by the Municipal Government Act (MGA) as part of the adoption or amendment process for statutory plans, the Clearwater County's Land Use Bylaw, or as necessary.
NEW! Public hearing participants can now speak in favour or in opposition of a bylaw by joining the hearing online.
Historically, interested parties have had to speak in person in Council Chambers. Now they can choose between appearing in person or online.
