The City of Burlington’s updated draft Community Engagement Charter is now ready for review before being finalized. Comments and feedback will be accepted until Sept 15, 2024.
The City has used public feedback on the original Charter to create this draft.
To date we have engaged with a variety of groups and individuals such as residents, City staff, Members of Council, community groups, local businesses, Council appointed Committees, faith-based groups, youth, newcomers and past members of the Charter Action Team. Staff also sought input at the Food for Feedback event and the Appleby Line Street Festival in fall 2023.
Please review some of the proposed changes or updates based on what we heard before reviewing the draft document.
Check out the quick poll and tell us what word (Resident, Citizen or Community Member) should be used in the Engagement Charter and Framework.
During the engagement, we heard a lot of great ideas on how to make engagement better in Burlington. Take a quick survey and tell us your top 5 ideas you think the City should consider.
