City Council

Nanaimo City Council

An elected Council comprised of a Mayor and eight Councillors governs the City of Nanaimo. Councillors are elected for three-year terms and each member of Council represents the City at large. The Community Charter gives Council the authority to set budgets, levy taxes, and establish policies to guide the growth, development and operation of the City for the benefit and protection of its citizens.

The powers of the Mayor and Council are exercised through the adoption of resolutions or the enacting of bylaws at regularly scheduled Council meetings. See our tentative meeting schedule for the list of upcoming meetings. Open Council meetings are held biweekly, Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the Shaw Auditorium located at 80 Commercial Street. The rules governing the conduct of the meeting are outlined in the Council Procedure Bylaw and Robert's Rules of Order. Members of the public are welcome to attend the open meetings of Council. The public can address Council at these meetings if arrangements to do so are made ahead of time.

If you would like to contact the Mayor and Council, send e-mail to mayor.council@nanaimo.ca. To contact the Legislative Services department, or for general enquiries contact LegislativeServices.office@nanaimo.ca.
