Advisory Committee Recruitment
Please note the City of Burlington is currently reviewing Council appointed Advisory Committees to determine the best way to use the knowledge and diversity that Advisory Committees can bring to the city. A working team of residents are writing a report of their findings from the action labs and engagement with staff and advisory committee members that will be presented at a Council Workshop on Feb. 25, 2020.
In the meantime, the City of Burlington is currently recruiting volunteers to be members of the Heritage Burlington Advisory Committee and the Burlington Accessibility Advisory Committee.
These two advisory committees are legislated and report to Burlington City Council to provide advice and promote issues related to the conservation of Burlington's built and cultural heritage and to identify, remove and prevent barriers to people with disabilities in the municipality's bylaws, policies, programs and services.
Apply online or visit a City facility near you. The deadline to apply is Friday, Feb. 28, 2020.
