A proclamation is an official announcement issued by the Mayor to recognize exceptional events, groups, people, or achievements in the City of Burlington.

Proclamations will be included in the Council agenda if they meet all of the following criteria:
Requests for proclamations must be resubmitted each year. We receive many requests for both new and annually recurring proclamations. Please allow a minimum of four weeks for a proclamation to be prepared and included in the Council agenda.
