Our Town Charter determines how responsibilities are distributed, decisions are made and accountability is enforced in New Canaan’s municipal government. Join us to learn about our local government and what issues are being discussed for this current revision, from term limits, appointed vs elected positions, community representation, and more. Every 10 years, the New Canaan Town Council votes to establish a Charter Revision Commission of 11 members to recommend potential revisions to the articles within the Charter. Members of the public are invited to participate either in person at the Commission meetings or via a link to the Public Information Form
