Delegation Registration
The City of Burlington has implemented hybrid Council and standing committee meetings, providing you with the option of speaking at a meeting in-person at city hall, 426 Brant St. or virtually via Zoom.
How to Delegate
Requests to delegate to a 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.
Deadline to Register
Delegates must register 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.
At the meeting, delegations are heard in the order they were received by the Office of the City Clerk.
Speaking Notes and Presentations
For those delegating virtually, it is recommended that you include your intended speaking notes, which will be circulated to all members of the standing committee in advance, as a backup to any technology issues that may occur.
Speaking notes and PowerPoint presentations must be submitted by noon the day before the scheduled meeting. If the meeting is on a Monday, speaking notes and presentations must be submitted by noon on the Friday before the meeting.
Remote Participation
The city's hybrid standing committee and Council meetings are being held via Zoom. Confirmed virtual delegates will be provided with all applicable access codes and instructions to enter the teleconference or video conference system in advance of the meeting.
*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.
