Elgin County Launches New Livestream for Council and Committee Meetings

Elgin County, ON – Elgin County is making it easier than ever to follow local decision-making. Beginning with the October 28, 2025 Council meeting, all Council and Committee meetings will be livestreamed directly through the County’s website, offering residents a more reliable and user-friendly viewing experience.

This change means Council and Committee meetings will no longer be streamed on Facebook, and future recordings will be available exclusively on the County’s website following each meeting. Past recordings already uploaded to YouTube will remain available for viewing.

Through the County’s livestream platform, viewers can watch meetings live or revisit recordings afterward. The platform also includes timestamping, which allows users to navigate directly to specific agenda items, making it simple to find topics of interest within each meeting. All upcoming meeting agendas and livestream links can be found at www.elgincounty.ca/council.

After navigating to www.elgincounty.ca/council, viewers will be required to select the meeting they are interested in viewing. The video stream will appear alongside the agenda for that meeting. Council and Committee of the Whole meetings are held consecutively; however, viewers will need to click out of the Council meeting and into the Committee of the Whole meeting once the first meeting is complete.

To ensure a smooth transition between consecutive meetings, there may be a brief pause in the livestream as staff close and reopen sessions. Please note that the “View Livestream” link will appear shortly before the meeting begins.

Notice of all Council and Committee meetings, and links to the livestream site, will continue to be shared on Facebook in advance of the meetings.

Members of the public are invited to tune in live through the County’s website to follow Council discussions and decisions as they happen.

When: Tuesday, October 28, 2025, 9:00 a.m.
