The proposed amendments to the Public Participation Program Policy are primarily intended to formalize and clarify the Town's use of its official website as a means of providing notice for Public Hearings and other planning matters. While the Town has been utilizing its website and social media platforms for some time, these amendments ensure that this approach is clearly articulated within the policy framework and aligned with the provisions of the Municipal Government Act.

In addition, the amendments include a number of minor housekeeping changes to improve clarity, consistency, and implementation. These revisions do not alter the overall intent of the policy, but rather refine existing language, correct formatting, and standardized terminology throughout the document. Overall, the amendments are administrative in nature and are intended to modernize notification practices while maintaining transparency and opportunities for public participation.
