Township of Tiny

To support a respectful, collaborative, and productive working environment, the Township may utilize a general screening and vetting process when reviewing applications for municipal volunteer working groups.

Working groups are intended to support constructive community input, collaboration, and project-focused discussion. They are not intended to serve as political platforms, advocacy bodies, campaign forums, or religious platforms. Participants are expected to engage respectfully, work collaboratively with others, and support the objectives and values of the Township.

As part of the review process, staff may consider:

• The applicant’s interest, experience, and ability to contribute positively to the working group’s purpose.
• Alignment with the goals, scope, and expectations of the working group.
• Demonstrated ability to participate respectfully and collaboratively in community discussions.
• Previous volunteer or community involvement, where applicable.

To support consistency and due diligence:

• Applications may be reviewed collaboratively by departmental staff, communications department and Senior Management, where appropriate.

Final participation decisions remain at the discretion of the Township.

The Township is committed to maintaining volunteer working groups that are respectful, inclusive, community-focused, and aligned with the municipality’s values and operational objectives.
