The Regional Municipality of Waterloo is best served by leaders that reflect the diversity of our community to foster meaningful participation from varying perspectives in the Community.

The Regional Municipality of Waterloo recognizes the importance of acknowledging the land on which our Advisory Committees and Special Purpose Bodies gather. We will listen, educate ourselves on decolonization, and uplift and celebrate the Indigenous peoples of this land. All Committees will ensure an equitable and a respectful environment for participants to come together and exchange knowledge and information in a healthy and constructive way. The Region of Waterloo is working on addressing systemic barriers, advancing Truth & Reconciliation and creating a community where everyone belongs. For more information visit the Office of Reconciliation and Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. 

The Region advertises for applications from the public and appoints residents to various Boards, Commissions, Advisory Committees and other Special Purpose Bodies needed for a particular year(s) or Council term of office. These appointments give residents of this Region, from a variety of backgrounds, a chance to volunteer and become actively engaged as a member of a Board, Commission, Advisory Committee or other Special Purpose Body. 

If you have any questions or would like to submit your application using an alternative format, please contact the Regional Clerks Office (regionalclerk@regionofwaterloo.ca).
