Citizen Action Lab - Citizen Advisory Committees
The City of Burlington is reviewing Council appointed Citizen Advisory Committees to determine the best way to use the knowledge and diversity that Citizen Advisory Committees can bring to the city.
Throughout May, staff will be seeking input online and in-person from current citizen committee members and members of the public as well as researching how other municipalities use citizen groups for feedback and advice.
Citizen Action Labs are where people work together in small, welcoming groups to engage, discuss, share and explore new ideas.
Feedback gathered will go towards producing a "Outcome of Community Consultation and Recommendation Report".
The report will go to Committee of the Whole in September of 2019.

The City of Burlington citizen advisory committees play a key role in providing advice and feedback to Council and staff on a variety of issues in the City.
