The Halifax Regional Municipality is inviting residents to apply for positions across several boards, committees and commissions.

These groups consist of councillors, residents and industry representatives.

According to an HRM release, they provide recommendations to Regional Council, community councils, standing committees or municipal staff and serve as an important part of the decision-making process.
