Toronto City Council
Toronto City Council is the governing body of the municipal government of Toronto, Ontario. Meeting at Toronto City Hall, it comprises 25 city councillors and the mayor of Toronto. The current term began on November 15, 2022.

The decision-making process at the City of Toronto involves committees that report to City Council. The mayor forms and dissolved committees, assigns their functions, appoints the chairs and vice-chairs, and serves as an ex officio member of each committee. Committees propose, review and debate policies and recommendations before their arrival at City Council for debate. The public can only make deputations on policy at committees but not to City Council unless required by law.
There are three types of committees at the City of Toronto: the executive committee, four other standing committees, and special committees of council.
The executive committee is an advisory body chaired by the mayor. The executive committee is composed of the mayor, deputy mayor, and the chairs of the four standing committees who are appointed by the mayor and three "at-large" members appointed by City Council. The role of the executive committee is to set the City of Toronto's priorities, manage financial planning and budgeting, labour relations, human resources, and the operation of City Council.
