Each board is supported by the Community Governance Team which provides advice to the board and ensures that the board has the information it needs to assist it in making decisions.

The team includes a community governance manager and community development and recreation staff who work with people and issues across the Community Board area.

The team arranges board meetings and produces agendas for those meetings as well as providing information to people who want to come and speak with the Board.
