Clarington’s advisory committee meetings are open to the public and may be held in person, online or in a combination of both formats. Please view the committee agenda or reach out to the committee contact for more information.
The Committee helps Municipal staff identify any agricultural-related issues and make recommendations to Council. The Committee provides Council and staff with an agricultural perspective on many issues that impact the industry. It also provides advice on municipal policy and by-laws as they relate to agriculture.
The terms are staggered by appointing half of the membership, every two years, for four-year terms.
The committee comprises 12 members in total—ten positions appointed by Council, a Durham Federation of Agriculture representative and one Council representative. The members are selected to provide representation from various farming interests (dairy, beef, apple, greenhouse, cash crops, hog, poultry, etc.).
Second Thursday of every month at 7:30 p.m.
