Students will act as advisors in the Municipality of Chester. Warden Allen Webber says council has endorsed the student government at Forest Heights Community School to act as an advisory committee. Webber says he met with members of student council to see how the municipality could engage the group. He says the student body will receive agendas ahead of meetings and can provide council with feedback.
Webber feels students deserve to have their voices heard, and this will provide them with that avenue. The warden presented a draft terms of reference to council members that stated the student committee will also provide input in the municipal newsletter and appear at council once a year.
