特别难得！本网编辑部收到Kitchener市政府工作人员的电话，希望借助社区网平台呼吁居住在Kitchener的华裔居民，踊跃申请该市众多的公民委员会理事。下面时小编从市府网页编辑的相关信息，希望在Kitchener的华人能够积极申请！
在小编看来，作为移民来到加拿大，参与公民委员会其实也是我们当家作主的重要表现。尽管许多职位都是义工服务，但是作为社区的一员，我们应该在不同的行业、不同的角色中都能够看到华裔的面孔！尽管公民委员会是一个民间机构，但真正能够影响社区的发展，乃至本市的未来发展！
假若您在申请过程中遇到任何问题，也请联系本网，我们会近自己所能帮助您！社区构建，经济发展，需要我们每一双手！
Citizen committees and boards
Play a key role in our city’s future by sitting on a local citizen committee or board. The deadline for applications is Sunday, September 27 at midnight. What’s the difference, you ask? Committees provide advice and feedback to city council and standing committees on a variety of issues, including arts and culture, accessibility, downtown and the environment. Boards have the autonomy to make decisions for the good of their organizations.
Each advisory committee and board also has at least one city council member; check out our full list of councillor appointments to local committees and boards for more details. Accessible formats and communication supports are available to committee/ board members (and guests) upon request. If you require assistance to take part in a city meeting or event, please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994.
