Our monthly Board meetings are held on the last working Monday of the month. Committee of the Whole (COW) meetings are held on the second and third working Mondays of each month. If one of those Mondays is a holiday or Creed Accommodation day, then this schedule changes. Public session of the meetings begins at 7 p.m.

Members of the public are welcome to watch Board and Committee of the Whole meetings in person or online. 

Attending in person

Board meetings are held in the Boardroom at the Education Centre, 51 Ardelt Avenue, Kitchener, Ontario. Seating is strictly limited to 30 persons in our public gallery on a first-come, first-served basis.

If attending in person, you will be asked to wait outside of the Education Centre until the public session of the meeting is ready to begin (usually around 7 p.m.). Education Centre Main Entrance doors will be locked at approximately 7:15 p.m.

Please remember that members of the public do not have an opportunity to speak at or during meetings, unless they are scheduled to delegate before the Board. Find out how to register as a delegate. Everyone in attendance is expected to act responsibly with decorum, and adhere to the Ontario Human Rights Code.
