Online / Phone Etiquette
• Attendees are not active participants; they are to view and listen only.
• If there is a public meeting, public will be given an opportunity to address Council at the meeting. Please wait for this time to direct any questions you may have to the meeting host by “Raising your hand”.
• To avoid any background noise for all participants involved, ensure your audio is on mute until you are speaking. Once you are done speaking, place your audio back on mute.
• When speaking, please announce yourself by your full name address. Then speak.
• The public will be required to maintain decorum at all times.
