City seeking input from the public on the future of a lobbyist registry: Take the survey

Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2023 04:04 PM

Burlington, Ont.— Jan. 17, 2023 — The City of Burlington is seeking input from the public on the future of a City lobbyist registry. Feedback can be shared through an online survey, available at getinvolvedburlington.ca until Feb. 6, 2023.

In January 2022, the City launched a trial online lobbyist registry designed to document interactions between individuals who lobby members of Burlington City Council. Data from this trial, along with the community’s input, will help determine how to improve the registry. The input will also be used to help shape City Council accountability measures over the next four-year Council term (2022 – 2028).

A report to Council about the future of the lobbyist registry is anticipated for early Spring 2023.
