Community Committees
(aka Committees of Council)
These committees are not active right now, but may be again.
| Empress Airport Advisory Committee | Vacant |
| Empress Hospital Advisory Board | Vacant |
| Empress Parks, Trails and Recreation Advisory Board | Vacant |
| Empress Community Hall Advisory Board | Replaced by the Empress & District Fine Arts, Cultural and Leisure Society. See the page for the Empress Community Hall. |
These community committees got their start with the public Strategic Planning meetings that were held in 2017. The committees consist of one Village of Empress Councillor and members of the public who are interested.
Their purpose is to think up ideas for how to develop or make better use of these resources, then create proposals (including plans, budgets, and fundraising), then finally present those proposals to the Village of Empress Council.
