As with local governments everywhere, the methods of public participation in Fraser Valley Regional District board meetings have morphed since the pandemic.

The 7 p.m. FVRD Board meeting on October 27, to be conducted both in-person, and through Zoom, is open to the public for questions during question period.

To speak during the virtual public question period, folks can click on the ‘Raise Hand’ feature in the controls. This notifies staff that someone has raised their hand, and they will unmute the microphone.
