L'Anse au Clair is an incorporated municipality in the province of Newfoundland & Labrador. The town was incorporated in 1970. Regular council meetings are held to conduct town business.

These council meetings are held at the AMG Town Centre at 7:30pm on the first Monday of every month (if Monday is a holiday, the meeting will be held the following work day) and are open to the public. Residents can attend meetings without notice. However, if you want to make a presentation or address council, you need to be added to the agenda ahead of time. In this case, please call the town office (931-2481) a few days in advance to be added.

Residents with questions or concerns may also send a letter to council delivered either by mail, in person during business hours, or by email to townoflanseauclair@hotmail.com. Your inquiry will be reviewed during the next regular council meeting and responded to promptly afterwards by email or written letter.
