The Community Charter and Local Government Act require local governments to provide advance public notice of matters of public interest (e.g., public meetings, elections, public hearings, disposition of land). Public notice is required to facilitate transparency and accountability and is part of the public engagement process. Public notices inform the public of opportunities to participate in local government decision-making and share views.
The Community Charter, and Local Government Act set out the minimum content requirements for public notice and how notice must be provided; however, they do not limit any additional information that the local government may choose to incorporate into a notice or additional methods the local government may choose to use to provide notice to its community.
As set out in the Kitimat Municipal Code, Part 2, Section 16 - Public Notice , the District of Kitimat publishes notices to this page, the District's Facebook page, the District Website and posted on the notice boards at the Municipal Office, the lower floor of the City Centre Mall.
