City of White Rock Committee Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering is a great way for residents to get involved, provide input and expertise on important issues and make a positive contribution to our community. The City is currently looking for volunteers to serve on the following Committees:

Dogs on The Promenade Task Force

The Dogs on the Promenade Task Force has been formed in advance of the trial period to determine the approach that will be used to assess the relative success or failure of allowing dogs on the promenade.  The outcomes of this assessment are expected to be used to determine if dogs should be allowed on the promenade beyond the trial period (on a seasonal basis or year round).

• Up to seven (7) community members are sought for appointment.

 Public Art Advisory Committee

The Public Art Advisory Committee will advise Council on the implementation of public art policies and projects for the City of White Rock.

Applications are to be submitted to the City by Wednesday, June 12 at 4:30 p.m.
