Edmonton city councillors are expected to move forward with ending seven council committees at the end of their current term.
The advisory boards or committees advise council on issues such as transit, climate and anti-racism.
The decision to formally end the seven committees will be considered by council on April 28.
The seven advisory boards are: the anti-racism advisory committee; the Edmonton historical board; the Edmonton salutes committee; the Edmonton transit service advisory board; the energy transition climate resilience committee; the women’s advisory voice of edmonton committee; and the City of Edmonton youth council.
The first six committees would conclude April 30, while the City of Edmonton youth council would end Aug. 31.
Five committees would remain.
Mayor Andrew Knack is scheduled to address the media Thursday afternoon.
