Virtual Event

The number of jobs advertised in newspapers and websites is nothing compared to the number of jobs that are never advertised. It is estimated that between 70% and 80% of the jobs are not published. So who gets these jobs? Simple. The people who know the importance of networking and network actively. This means joining professional networks such as LinkedIn and actually going out and talking to would-be employers. Need some help honing your networking skills? Here at Goodwill Career Centre, we offer networking sessions every Monday, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM where participants can engage and connect with potential employers. Let us help you grow your network and find your dream job!

Burlington Sustainable Development Advisory Committee - Cancelled

Aug 19, 2020 07:00 PM

City Hall, 2nd floor, Room 247

The Burlington Sustainable Development Committee is an advisory committee of Burlington Council. Our role in the community is to promote the principles and objectives of Sustainable Development and to advise and assist City staff and Council members on these issues. We do this by reviewing and commenting on land use policies and development applications, researching sustainable development issues and preparing position papers, and by participating in and hosting special sustainability events. The members of the Burlington Sustainable Development Advisory Committee are volunteer citizens who have been appointed by Council to advise on issues that relate to sustainable development. During the day, we are, or have been, architects, biologists, business people, developers, engineers, musicians, planners, stay-at-home parents, university students and more. Our common ground is our passion to minimize impacts on the environment and the belief that the City of Burlington is a great place to live, work and play.

Burlington Mundialization Committee

Sep 02, 2020 07:00 PM

Room 247, 2nd Level, City Hall

The Burlington Mundialization Committee is a committee made up of community volunteers and reports to City Council through the Environment, Infrastructure and Community Services Committee. In 1984, a Mundialization Committee of volunteer citizens was formed in Burlington to pursue twinning with another country. A by-law was passed in 1985 to declare Burlington a "World Community" dedicated to international co-operation (mundialization) and that the City of Burlington, as part of its Mundialization program, proceed: (a) to undertake a twinning program with a municipality in another country, and (b) to fly the United Nations flag with the Canadian flag from City Hall at all times. On May 12, 1989, Mayor Bird signed a twinning agreement with Mayor Kurihara of Itabashi, Japan. On May 6, 2005, Mayor MacIsaac signed a twinning agreement with Mayor de Graaf of Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. For any additional information, please see www.Burlington.ca/mund.
