1.2.4 When Council Meets

City Council usually meets at 10 am on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month (except in March, July, August and December). They meet in Andrew S. Haydon Hall at City Hall. Special council meetings and committees-of-the-whole are called as needed, especially at budget time. All meetings are held at Ottawa City Hall.

Council and standing committee meetings are advertised in the City wepage in the Friday’s edition of Ottawa’s daily newspapers, as well as the City of Ottawa website.

For more information, contact a committee coordinator, listed on the City of Ottawa website.
