The Regional Board may establish Standing Committees, Select Committees and Special Purpose Advisory Committees.

Standing Committees

Standing committees are established by the Chair and operate until terminated by the Chair, or until their mandate has been fulfilled. Standing committees make written recommendations to the Board through the Committee Chair as often as required. Unless the matter is time-sensitive, reports are usually made in the month following the committee meeting. Standing committee meetings are usually scheduled in conjunction with the monthly Regional Board meetings and are open to the public.

The Regional Board occasionally establishes select committees to investigate a specific matter and report back with its findings.

Select committee meetings are normally scheduled by the Committee Chair and are open to the public.
