Delegation Registration Options
Due to COVID-19, an amendment to Procedure By-law 04-2020 was approved at the Council meeting of April 20, 2020 to allow for delegations to participate remotely in Council and standing committee meetings during the current state of emergency.
Requests to delegate to a virtual meeting can be made by completing the online delegation registration form or by submitting a written request by email to the Office of the City Clerk at clerks@burlington.ca by noon the day before the meeting is to be held. If the meeting is on a Monday, requests to delegate shall be submitted by noon on the Friday before the meeting.
All requests to delegate must contain a copy of the delegate’s intended remarks which will be circulated to all members of the standing committee in advance as a backup to any technology issues that may occur. Confirmed delegates will be provided with all applicable access codes and instructions to enter the teleconference or video conference system in advance of the meeting.
Please review the Electronic Meeting during a Declared Emergency Remote Participation Guide for more information.
*Disclaimer: Please note that submission of a delegation form does not guarantee the approval of your request to speak at a meeting. In addition, all information submitted will be considered to be public information and therefore subject to full disclosure, under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
Registration forms for standing committee meetings must be received by the Office of the City Clerk no later than the deadlines shown below. Delegations will be heard in the order they have been received.
