3. Join a committee

Get involved in an area of interest by joining a City board, commission or committee.

Boards, Commissions and Committees provide City Council with perspective and recommendations regarding important civic issues. They also play an integral role in bringing together citizens and The City to achieve the common goal of strengthening the community.

Every year, The City of Calgary looks to its citizens to fill volunteer positions on various boards, commissions and committees. The City looks for Calgarians from all walks of life to volunteer.
