OVERVIEW

The City of Ottawa has a 22-member Council composed of the Mayor, representing the City as a whole, and 21 Councillors, representing the 21 wards within the new City of Ottawa. Members of Council are elected for a three-year term of office.
City Council is the decision-making body responsible for turning community needs into municipal services -- from human services, such as social services and housing, to hard services, like roads and waste management.

To assist it in its deliberations, City Council appoints Standing Committees to study issues and to make recommendations to Council. These Standing Committees are comprised solely of elected representatives. It is at the Standing Committee level that citizens have input into the decision-making process.

Most decisions made by Standing Committees require final approval by City Council. City Council meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month, except in July and August when it meets on the second Wednesday only. All meetings are held at City Hall.

Council and standing committee meetings are advertised in the City page in Friday's edition of Ottawa's daily newspapers. For more information on Council and standing committee meetings, agendas and minutes, see Council and Committee agendas, and for information on standing committee terms of reference and membership, see Standing Committee Information and the Advisory Committees.

All Council and standing committee meetings are open to the public, and all Council meetings are televised live on Rogers Television, cable 22. (Rogers télé-communautaire 23, en français).
