What Happens at Town Hall?

Join us to learn about the role municipal governments can play in addressing critical issues including poverty, food security, housing and climate change, and how to get more involved with your municipal government. 

We'll hear from local people involved with municipal policies including a former mayor, municipal committee members and a researcher. This is an informal event where brief presentations from the panelists will be followed by a Q & A. 

Weather permitting the event will be held outdoors in The Table's back garden.

Our resource people for this event are: 

• Lana March, former Mayor of Perth
• Liz Gallant, member of the Perth Climate Change Advisory Panel
• Bastou Bacharach, member of the Perth Climate Change Advisory Panel
• Wendy Shatner, Lanark County Community Action Network
• Maddison Hainstock, Table Community Food Centre Director, and authour of a discussion paper on Perth's Official Plan and the Local Food System.
