Live Streaming of Council Meetings

Since the beginning of the year we’ve been live streaming the council meetings as they happen. Since the live streams suffer from the vagaries of live production (things such as not starting on time, technical issues, audio issues) we still provide the ‘produced’ versions above.

When the council meetings are happening you can watch them in a number of ways:

• on our Government page you can watch the stream at the top of the page
• on the Facebook groups Whats Up Grand Forks BC and The Soapbox – Grand Forks BC and Region we post links to the YouTube live stream. Commenting is disabled in the Whats Up group but not in the Soapbox group. Some councilors have been known to monitor (and even participate in) the live discussion during the meetings.
