All positions are voluntary and include a small honorarium and reimbursement of eligible expenses. Meetings may be held in person, virtually or in a hybrid format, depending on the board or committee.
Huron County Accessibility Advisory Committee
The Huron County Accessibility Advisory Committee provides advice to Huron County Council and member municipalities on accessibility issues related to municipal buildings, facilities and services. The committee also works with community groups on accessibility matters and supports efforts to create a welcoming, inclusive and accessible community. Members come from a variety of backgrounds. In accordance with provincial requirements, the majority of committee members must be people with disabilities.
Huron County Library Board
The Huron County Library Board is responsible for the governance of the Huron County Library and works closely with Huron County Council, which provides most of the funding for library operations. The Huron County Library serves residents through 12 branches across the County as well as through online services, providing access to information, resources, technology, programs and opportunities for learning and connection. Library Board meetings are typically held on the second Wednesday of the month in the morning.
