BURLINGTON, ON
You are going to get a chance to provide input into planning Burlington’s future. Some people feel that voting once every four years is input enough – but with a voter turnout of 35% a lot of people didn’t make their views known.
The Strategic Plan the city puts in place is a more focused look at what the people you elected get to do on your behalf.
As part of public engagement for the City of Burlington’s strategic plan, the city has created a workbook to give individuals and groups an opportunity to provide input into planning Burlington’s future.
A copy of the Workbook for Planning the Future of Burlington is available until end of day April 26, 2015.
That is also the date by which you have to submit your completed workbook.
It is one of the ways the city is reaching out to residents, along with using workshops and surveys.
To help set priorities, each Burlington City Council creates a strategic plan to match with the four-year term of council. The 2015-18 City of Burlington strategic plan will result in changes to the 2011-14 strategic plan, based on community feedback and changing needs.
The workbook is available online or in hard copy and can be mailed on request. Strategic plan facilitators are on standby to help groups complete the workbook. Please contact strategicplan@burlington.ca, call 905-335-7600, ext 7378, or visit the city website for details.
