Horizon 2050

Horizon 2050 continues our work established by Vision 2040. Our ongoing strategies guide how the City plans, invests and delivers services while balancing growth, environmental stewardship, economic vitality and community wellbeing.

It refines our focus from managing growth to enhancing everyday experiences, well-being and quality of life for every Burlington community member.

This 25-year strategic plan is built on four foundational elements to guide priorities, investments and decisions:

• People First - Decisions are shaped by the everyday experiences, well-being and quality of life of our community members.
• Vibrant Communities - Neighbourhoods are inclusive, connected and designed for people to thrive at every stage of life.
• Shared Responsibility - Burlington's future is created by community members, businesses, Council, staff, community partners and solid relationships with other levels of government.
• Purposeful Growth - Growth is intentional to balance community needs, environmental responsibility, economic prosperity and long-term sustainability. Burlington will protect its natural environment to maintain its rare balance of urban and rural landscapes.

This is the foundation to build our shared vision for Burlington's future: Burlington is a community where nature is protected, growth is purposeful and everyone thrives. This is how we will gauge our success.
