Boards and Committees Applications Now Open

The Town of Essex is inviting residents to get involved in their community by applying to serve on the Town’s boards and committees for the 2026–2030 Term of Council.

Boards and committees play an important role in local government by providing community input, sharing knowledge and expertise, and making recommendations to Council on matters that affect residents and the municipality.

The Town relies on volunteers with a wide range of backgrounds, interests and experience to help inform decisions and support initiatives that contribute to a strong and vibrant community.

Opportunities are available across several areas, including accessibility, arts and culture, heritage, planning, community events and more. Depending on the board or committee, members may help advise Council, support community initiatives or participate in specific municipal responsibilities.

Residents interested in making a contribution are encouraged to explore the available opportunities and learn more about the responsibilities, composition and meeting schedules of each board or committee.

Applications can be submitted online through the Town's website at www.essex.ca/committees. The application deadline is November 30, 2026.
