What's This All About?
Community Conversations: Council & Community will follow a World Café-style engagement model, designed to create informal, small-group discussions in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Residents will rotate between themed tables hosted by municipal staff; this structured rotation ensures participants have equal opportunity to visit each topic area while maintaining a conversational atmosphere.
The meetings are intended to build trust, increase understanding of municipal government, and create a welcoming space where residents can ask questions, share feedback, and learn more about current projects and priorities. They also allow Council and staff to better understand the perspectives, concerns, and ideas of the communities they serve.
A report will be prepared after each meeting depicting the information collected at each table. This will be shared with Council, staff, posted on the County’s website and socials, and sent to participants who visit the sessions and choose to provide an email so the report may be sent to them directly.
Light refreshments will be served.
Additional Features:
Community’s Voice Table - A outlet to provide a unique opportunity for residents to speak directly with senior municipal leaders. Staffed by a combination of the Warden, Deputy Warden, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), and Deputy CAO (subject to their availability), this table allows participants to raise concerns or discuss topics not covered at the other themed tables. It ensures that residents have a clear, direct channel to communicate with the Municipality’s senior leadership team, helping strengthen trust, transparency, and understanding between Council, staff, and the community.
Children’s Activity Table - This space will offer simple activities to allow children to participate comfortably (unstaffed).
Visiting Municipal Tables (Where Applicable) - Additional municipally affiliated groups may attend, such as:
- Annapolis Regional Emergency Management Organization (REMO)
- Police Advisory Committee
