Please note that Calais proudly honors Vermont's Open Meeting law and all meetings of Town boards, commissions and committees are open to the public.  The Town encourages participation and invites you to attend.  Although only elected or appointed members can vote, time must, by law, be made available for relevant public comment on any agenda item and we encourage Calais residents to come help your elected and appointed officials learn about the issues that face us all.

We hope this calendar is a useful addition to the monthly paper calender that is compiled and distributed around town by Donna Fitch.  For paper calendar updates and corrections or to add a listing for the coming month, contact Donna Fitch at 223-1658 or donna@artichokedesign.net.  To update a listing on this Web site, contact webmaster@calaisvermont.gov.

We do encourage calling to confirm prior to attending an event you learned about on this site, as cancellations or changes may take place without advance notification to the webmaster. 

To see details of time, location, and contact information as submitted to us for any particular event, click on the event in the calender. 

To view events as a list rather than on a calender, click on "See All Items" at the bottom of this page.  From the list, click on any particular event to see details as provided to us.
