Public comments on electronic meetings during COVID-19
District of Sooke Council and Committee meetings have moved to an electronic meeting platform during the COVID-19 pandemic to support physical distancing measures. Until further notice, Council and Committee meetings will not be physically open to members of the public.
The Province of BC issued Ministerial Order M192 on June 17, 2020, elaborating on previous ministerial orders and providing options for local governments to continue municipal business and hold meetings without in-person public attendance.
The District of Sooke believes that public participation is a fundamental tenet of democracy and leads to better informed decision-making. Council wishes to hear from the public on issues that are important to them and encourages residents to comment on upcoming agenda items.
