Community involvement improves our Township, and the Township appreciates the efforts of our citizens to get involved and take positive action for Ramara.
The Township of Ramara has a variety of boards, committees and commissions that advise Council on certain matters. Below each board, committee or commission is listed.
Join a board, committee or commission
We rely on citizens to volunteer their time and knowledge by serving on various boards and committees. Please note that some of these positions on either a board, committee, or commission are paid volunteer positions with a nominal fee. These boards and committees provide suggestions and recommendations to the Ramara Council on issues that impact the entire community.
We are currently looking for an enthusiastic member of the community to join the Ramara Economic Development Committee or members to join the Ramara Trails Committee. Applications to the Committees will be accepted until Monday, December 2 at 12:30 p.m. To apply in person, please email Legislative Services for a copy of the paper application.
