Be Involved
Our community is stronger and our democratic processes are more resilient when citizens have many touch points with their local government. The District of West Vancouver relies on its citizens to shape policy and processes in meaningful and positive ways.
Citizen participation on committee and working groups and in public consultation processes is key to helping Council make better decisions on behalf of all residents. We encourage you to get involved.
Committees & Groups
In addition to Council standing/select committees, working groups on specific issues, each with a citizen lead with staff liaison and support, will ensure priorities identified by Council will receive focused attention.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Participating in public consultation processes is one of the key ways you can help Council make decisions on behalf of all residents. Take part on westvancouverITE and follow us on social media.

Citizen Contribution to Governance
