Deputations

Any member of the public may ask to make a deputation at a Board or Board Committee meeting. A deputation is a way for people to speak at a Board or Board Committee meeting about a specific subject on the agenda. Deputations can be spoken or in writing, however they need to be about items that are on the meeting agenda. A person who gives a deputation is referred to as a deputant.

The deadline to register to speak at a meeting or to submit a written deputation is 12 p.m. on the business day prior to the Board or Board Committee meeting. Deputants may only depute once on the same item. Each deputant is limited to five minutes per item (excluding questions from the Board or Board Committee members).

Speaking at a Board or Board Committee Meeting

To register as a deputant and address the Board of Directors, please call 416 945-0465 or email deputations@torontoseniorshousing.ca. You will need to provide your name, your phone number, and the agenda item(s) you want to speak about.

Written Submission

To make a written deputation, please email deputations@torontoseniorshousing.ca. You will need to provide the agenda item(s) that you are writing about. Your message will be shared with the Board or Board Committee.

Deputation Tips

A typical deputation follows this format:

1. Thank the Chair and the Board

2. Introduce yourself and why you are speaking.

3. Explain your concerns and how they affect you and your community.

4. Thank the Chair and the Board and remind them that you will be paying attention to how they vote on this item.
