Below you will find information on some of our internal committees of council. These committees are comprised council and members of the public, and they are charged with advising Council as well as carrying out work on behalf of Council in many priority areas. 

Achievement Committee

The Achievement Committee has compiled a list of Raymond Athletes who have gone on to the next level of their sport. Please click here to view the list, and click here to view the criteria that guided the committee through the selection process.

The committee is releasing the list to the public to ensure we have not missed anyone. We encourage the public to review the list, and contact us to nominate yourself or someone you know to be recognized. We kindly request that you complete the nomination form and return to contact@raymond.ca.

Community Engagement Committee

The community engagement committee is an ad-hoc committee (1-yr term) of council. The committee’s mandate is to research best practices and develop policy options that will create opportunities for residents to become more engaged with the town. Specifically, the group will:

-Evaluate government decision making and recommend appropriate levels of community involvement 

-Enhance transparency

-Grow engagement in local government

Council is currently considering Bylaw 1103-21, Community Engagement Committee Bylaw, which will transition the committee from an ad hoc committee to a standing committee of council. Please review the bylaw and provide feedback if you have any. The bylaw is set for 3rd Reading (approval) at the May 18th Council meeting.
