About volunteering

Mayor and Council, and staff at the City of Vancouver would like to thank all past, present and future members of these various civic agencies and committees for giving so generously of their time. This spirit of involvement helps make Vancouver one of the world's most livable cities, and contributes to the mission of the City, which is to create a great city of communities that cares about its people, environment and the opportunities to live, work and prosper.

Applicants of all ages, genders, neighbourhoods, racial origins, income levels and sexual orientations, and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply, in order to appoint civic agencies and committees representative of the broader community and to address the issues of those communities.

How appointments are made

All appointments are made by City Council.

Copies of all applications will be made available to the Mayor and to each member of the City Council. Appointments to civic agencies and committees will be made by the Council during a subsequent meeting.

Appointments to civic agencies and committees will be made by City Council after the deadline for applications has closed. It may take as long as six to eight weeks after the deadline for appointments to be made. Every person who obtains an appointment will be notified as soon as possible by telephone. All applicants for any position will receive a letter from the City Clerk's Office listing the nominees who have been appointed.
