District of Tofino Meetings

Remote Attendance at Council Meetings

In order to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, the public is now invited to attend Council meetings remotely through Zoom. 

Zoom is an online resource and you are able to attend via your computer (direct link) or by downloading the Zoom App from the Google Play or Apple App Store for your smartphone or tablet.  Participants also have the option to “call in only” if you would like to listen from your telephone instead of joining online.

Please note that participants will automatically be muted and the video function will not be enabled.  The District is still accepting delegations and correspondence.  

PUBLIC COMMENT and QUESTION PERIODS: We are trying a new Q&A feature which allows the public to sign up for public input sections of the agenda. Staff will allow the public to be unmuted for up to 2 minutes, however no video will be permitted. Please bear with us as we try a new process to ensure the Public Comment and Question Period portions of the meeting are equally and easily accessible to the public.

HOW IT WORKS:

• To sign up to speak during the Public Comment on Agenda Items section, open the Q&A window in the webinar controls from your device.
• Click on the Ask Question tab, and type in the agenda item number you wish to speak to. Do not type your comment, only type the agenda item number you will be speaking to and the Chair will call upon you when it is your turn to speak.
• You will be unmuted for up to two minutes, however your video function will not be permitted.'
• Once the Public Comment period is concluded, no more comments or questions will be addressed until the Question Period is reached on the agenda.
• At that time, if you have a question regarding an agenda item please follow the same steps by opening the Q&A window from your device, click on the Ask Question tab, and type in the agenda item number about which you would like to ask question. The Chair will call upon you when it’s your turn to speak.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:  In order to fulfill the obligations of Council and to ensure a safe and secure meeting space, no comments, questions, or other interruptions of the Council proceedings will be permitted.  Disruptive participants will be removed from the meeting at the discretion of the Chair.

If you have any questions, please contact corporateservices@tofino.ca.
