Food for Feedback

The City of Burlington is hosting its fifth annual Food for Feedback event on Saturday, Sept. 13, between noon and 4 p.m. at Central Park (2299 New St.).

This popular community event offers residents a unique opportunity to enjoy a free meal in exchange for sharing their thoughts on City projects and initiatives, while supplies last. It’s a chance to have your voice heard while connecting with neighbours, Council and City staff in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.

Mayor Marianne Meed Ward, members of Council, City staff, and representatives from advisory committees will be on site to listen, engage, and gather valuable feedback that helps shape the future of Burlington.

Feedback collected at the event is used to help the City continue to improve programs, services and initiatives.
