This document provides information about public hearings held by Vancouver City Council. It discusses the purpose of public hearings, which is to allow the public to provide input on rezoning matters and designations before Council makes a decision. It outlines how the public can register to speak at a hearing, what to expect in terms of procedures, and tips for making an effective submission, such as being clear, brief, respectful and staying on topic. The goal is to help citizens feel comfortable providing their opinions to Council.
