BCAG Public Meetings
BCAG public meetings typically start with 10-15 minutes of news and updates, followed by a one hour presentation. There is usually an opportunity for discussion or questions and answers at these presentations.
Public meetings are held at the Brockville Public Library, 23 Buell Street, Brockville [Google Map], our partner in the presentations.
Public meetings are held on the 4th Sunday of the month, except for July and August when meetings are on Saturday; there is no meeting in December.
All are welcome to attend.
