Cranbrook seeking volunteers for City committees

Looking to contribute to the community by serving on a board? The City of Cranbrook is accepting applications for several volunteer positions.

Advisory Planning Commission:  The Advisory Planning Commission advises Council on matters respecting land use, community planning or proposed bylaws and permits. Four positions are available.

Board of Variance: The Board of Variance is an independent body formed under Section 899 of the Local Government Act. The Board considers requests for minor variances to the City of Cranbrook’s Zoning Bylaw regarding the siting, size, and dimensions of buildings.

The Board considers whether compliance with zoning regulations would create undue hardship resulting from aspects of the site as opposed to those which are personal to, or generated by, the property owner. Two positions are available.

Cranbrook Public Library Board:  Members of the Library Board form a corporation with the powers and duties given under the Library Act. Board Applicant Process and Information Package are available at cranbrookpubliclibrary.ca/the-library/library-board/ or at cranbrook.ca/our-city/mayor-and-council/committees. Three positions are available.

Applications will be accepted at City Hall (attention Catharine Kwan) or by email catharine.kwan@cranbrook.ca.

More information can be found on the City’s website here.

Membership is open to residents of the City of Cranbrook only, with applications closing on November 2 at 4 p.m.
