Council passed C-1121-20 Economic Development Advisory Committee Bylaw establishing a revamped Economic Development and Advisory Committee (EDAC) replacing the committee established in 2010. Bylaw C-1121-20 provides clarification on the role, governance and operation of the Committee. 

EDAC provides recommendations and advice to City Council on economic and business development issues affecting the larger community.
