City Council is now encouraging residents to apply for over 100 volunteer positions on several advisory bodies, all of which address specific civic issues, before the Friday, September 28, 2018 deadline.
“Richmond residents can make a positive impact on local government through Richmond’s long standing committees,” says Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “Through volunteering one’s expertise and time on any of the City’s advisory bodies, valuable insight can be shared to address a variety of specific areas of civic importance such as the environment, arts, culture, agriculture, youth, and the economy.”
