Port Moody has no wards
Unlike some larger cities, Port Moody elects its council at large. No councillor is tied to a neighbourhood; all six seats and the mayor are chosen by the whole city, and each voter can mark up to six council choices on one ballot. In practice that means you don't have "a" councillor. You have seven elected representatives, and you can take an issue to any of them.
How council meetings work, and how to speak at one
Council does its public business at regular meetings, with agendas and minutes published on the City's meeting portal. Residents can take part two ways: sign up at the meeting for a short public-input spot, or request a formal delegation in advance for more time on the agenda. The current procedures and deadlines are on the City's council pages.
Most items pass unanimously. When a vote divides, the minutes record who voted against by name, which is what makes it possible to trace each member's record on contested decisions.
