An overview of the City's agencies, boards and commissions, Office of the City Clerk's role and applying to serve on a civic agency.

Agencies, Boards, Committees and Commissions (or Civic Agencies) are:

Collective terms used to mean: all agencies, boards, committees, commissions, and task forces to which City Council makes an appointment of public members, council members, or representatives of external organizations.

Each year Edmontonians are appointed to Edmonton's Civic boards - which includes agencies, boards, committees, commissions and task forces.

Council values the input of civic boards on matters which impact Edmontonians. Whether advisory, decision-making, quasi-judicial or governing, all provide citizens with an opportunity to participate in the present and future direction of the city.

The Office of the City Clerk oversees board-member recruitment, appointments and training; as well as the establishment and classification of new boards, and assists Council in developing guidelines for the agencies.
