About Community Forums
During Council Community Forums, community members can engage directly with City Council members in small-group conversations. This year, each forum will have a main discussion topic, based on the Council’s priorities of equity, safety and climate action. Community members are welcome to talk about other issues, but all participants will be invited to share their experiences and ideas related to the main topic.
The final community forum of 2026 will be held on Nov. 23. Please see the City’s events and meeting calendar for more information prior to each forum.
