How To Delegate Workshop
Residents of Ward 3 and the wider City of Hamilton play a vital role in shaping the decisions made at City Council. Your input directly influences how we build and improve our city together. Yet navigating how to have your say isn’t always simple.
This workshop will walk you through the different ways to participate, from delegating to Council and its committees, to engaging online through Engage Hamilton, to attending meetings in person. You’ll learn how to effectively delegate on the issues that matter most to you and feel confident using the tools available to influence local decision‑making.
