Town of Whitby
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.

New Virtual Tour Helps Newcomers Get Acquainted With Whitby New residents have a new way to learn about their community during continued COVID-19 closures – with a Virtual Tour of Whitby. This year, due to the COVID-19 restrictions, the Town’s annual in-person bus tour for new residents is being replaced with a virtual tour. Through the tour, newcomers will be introduced to their Town, local government and in some cases their new country. “More than 20 destinations are included in the new virtual tour, including cultural locations and community gathering places which typically play an important role in the Town and bring diverse groups together,” says Kim Evans, Whitby’s Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Committee (DIAC) Staff Liaison and Supervisor, 55+ Recreation Services. Visitors to the tour can click on the interactive map and go behind-the-scenes to learn about the history of each building and how it serves the community today. Destinations include Fire Headquarters, The Abilities Centre, Port Whitby Marina, Downtown Brooklin, Station Gallery and more! Each local landmark includes a video, created and narrated by Town youth. |

How Road Watch Program Works If you witnessed a driver behaving aggressively or driving unsafe, use the Road Watch Report Form or the online complaint form found on the Durham Regional Police Road Watch program web page. Please record and detail as much information as possible from the incident. Any personal information you provide will be confidential and used for statistical use only. For more information about the Road Watch program, you can contact us or check the Durham Regional Police Road Watch program. What happens if your vehicle is reported? The police will send you a letter to identify the unsafe or aggressive driving that was witnessed. If the vehicle is reported more than once, the police will contact you, either by phone or in person. Subsequent incidents may result in enforcement action by the police. |
