Share your stories of community with Together, We are Burlington Every day in Burlington, someone does something for a friend, a stranger or their community. Many times, no one knows the action or even the impact it has. Sure, the city has some larger than life events and local personalities that are exciting, award-winning and newsworthy, but it’s the random acts of community that really build our strength, sense of belonging and defines who we are as a city. We are asking residents to share stories of what makes you proud to be Canadian and a Burlington resident, and how we come together as a City. Tell us about how you or someone you know has made a difference or has brought people together through random acts of community; moments of kindness or through small acts that may have made a bigger impact in your life or those around you. Go to getinvolvedburlington.ca/together to share your story.

Help choose the location of the City's next Rainbow Crosswalk We want you to help us choose the location of the city’s next Rainbow Crosswalks. Our Rainbow Crosswalks are a visible way to show that our city stands with our 2SLGBTQIA+ (Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual) community. It helps to send a strong message of welcome and support to everyone in our community and advance our city’s values of equity, diversity and inclusion. We are looking for feedback for up to three locations to implement each year for the remainder of this term of council (2021 + 2022). We ask you to choose your top 6 locations through this survey, and based on the full results and community-wide feedback of the locations, the City will make plans to implement them. Locations will be chosen based on results of this survey, other community input and ensuring distribution throughout different wards across the city. Locations that are not selected this time can be considered for future year installations. A report will be presented to City Committee and Council in June, Pride Month, with the results of the survey and next steps. If you'd like a paper copy mailed to you, please contact getinvolved@burlington.ca

Here’s a chance to make an IMPACT! The Halton Youth Impact Survey has questions designed for children ages 9 to 18 years old, so we can learn about what life is like for them right now. The survey will help provide better services and help plan future programs. The survey is entirely voluntary, anonymous and will only take about 25 minutes to finish. For more information about the project and access to the survey, click on the link Halton Youth Impact Survey to help make your community a better place for children and youth! The survey closes on June 14, 2021.
