The City of Cornwall recognizes that its advisory committees serve an important role in the city’s decision-making process. Lay members from the community represent their interest holders and provide their informed advice and expertise to Council. 

The city is committed to ensuring that qualified individuals are appointed to its committees. Consistent with its values of integrity, transparency and leadership, the city also commits to a selection process for public appointments that is transparent, consistent and fair. 

Council has formed a nominating committee to lead that process and make recommendations to Council. These terms of reference will guide the nominating committee in its role, the Office of the City Clerk, which supports the committee, and Council in how it renders its decisions.
