As part of the annual budget process, residents and businesses are encouraged to share their feedback about the municipal services most important to them, to help inform City Council’s decision making. To share input on which services are a priority, residents are encouraged to complete an online survey at www.getinvolvedburlington.ca. All the feedback captured through the survey will be shared with Burlington City Council. The survey will remain open until Sept. 30, 2021.
"Each year, through the budget process, choices are made to ensure the City services provided to residents align with the priorities in Burlington’s 2018-2022 strategic work plan, From Vision to Focus.
