The Town of Whitby has a variety of advisory boards and committees, whose members are appointed by Council and serve our community in an advisory capacity. Council appoints qualified candidates for citizen vacancies. Members are appointed for a term that follows the four-year term of Council.
We encourage you to participate in one of our advisory boards and committees if you think that you are a great fit. By participating and becoming involved, you help promote and strengthen our community.
The Town is not currently recruiting volunteers for any advisory boards or committee vacancies. Please check this webpage often for future vacancies.
Whitby residents, tenants or property owners, 18-years-old or older, can apply for a citizen board vacancy.
As our board and committee appointments are volunteer positions, members do not receive financial compensation for participating. Only appointed members of our quasi-judicial committees, such as the Animal Services Appeal Committee, Property Standards Appeal Committee, and Compliance Audit Committee receive a small stipend for participating.
You can view the dates and locations of all Town board and committee meetings online. Boards and committees generally meet once per month, with the exception of July and August. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are holding all advisory board and committee meetings virtually. You can learn more by viewing our Terms of Reference.
