Question How do Council and Committees operate?
Answer Council: Mayor Rob Ford and 44 city councillors representing the city's 44 wards, are the Council of the City of Toronto. Council is the main governing and legislative body for the City. Councillors also sit on committees and on community councils in the area where they were elected from.

Committees: Community councils, established under the City of Toronto Act, 1997, are committees of City Council that consider the City's business of a local nature at the community level. They provide a forum for local input into Council's decision-making process. Their responsibilities generally include making recommendations to City Council on local planning and development matters, as well as neighbourhood matters including traffic plans, parking regulations and exemptions to certain City bylaws (i.e., sign, fence, ravine and tree-by-laws).

Standing committees provide a forum for public input and make recommendations to council on issues within their areas of responsibility.
