Live Streaming - Committee, and Council
The Town of Penetanguishene is pleased to offer live streaming of council meetings. Please note that live streaming and the after-meeting recorded video are provided as a convenience to our community. Municipalities are not required to video record meetings. However, we recognize that offering a live webcast and video recording can make council meetings more accessible to interested residents. At times, we do experience technical difficulties. We do our best to address them immediately, but video, audio, and recording systems may malfunction. When they do, we are not able to provide an alternative video or live feed. The best way to be guaranteed to hear all council discussions is to attend meetings in person.
