Coquitlam City Hall is calling for volunteers for two of its boards.

Positions are open for the Coquitlam Public Library board and the Board of Variance, an independent appeal body that makes decisions on proposed variances to the city’s zoning bylaw.

The deadline to apply is Wednesday, Oct. 11 at noon via coquitlam.ca/acv2023.

For the library board, four new members are sought to steer the City Centre and Poirier branches, as well as the mobile Library Link service and the upcoming branch in the new Northeast Community Centre.

Potential candidates can attend an online information session on Sept. 26 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. to learn more; contact Lily Vukasovic at 604-937-4137 or email [email protected] to register for the session.

Meanwhile, three spots are open on the Board of Variance, which deals with changes to buildings’ size, scale and form.

To be part of a board, applicants:

  • cannot be City of Coquitlam employees
  • should preferably live in Coquitlam
  • need to demonstrate their community involvement and skills
  • need to be aware of the time commitment
