City seeking feedback on projects and initiatives with fifth annual ‘Food for Feedback’ event

This popular community event offers residents a unique opportunity to enjoy a free meal in exchange for sharing their thoughts on City projects and initiatives, while supplies last. It’s a chance to have your voice heard while connecting with neighbours, Council and City staff in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.

Mayor Marianne Meed Ward, members of Council, City staff, and representatives from advisory committees will be on site to listen, engage, and gather valuable feedback that helps shape the future of Burlington.

The free drop-in event features 35 booths and five food trucks. There is a reserved area called the 'Kidz Zone' where children can have fun while family members provide feedback on City projects.

Feedback collected at the event is used to help the City continue to improve programs, services and initiatives.

Date and Location

Residents are welcome to attend Food for Feedback on Saturday, Sept. 13, between noon and 4 p.m. at Central Park, 2299 New St.

Mayor Marianne Meed Ward

“Food for Feedback is a great way for the City and residents to connect directly in a relaxed and welcoming setting, and to share your perspectives on the City’s priorities. Your input matters—it helps guide the direction of our city, from how we build and move around, to property development, budgeting, and how we engage with the community. I’ll have a booth at the event and invite you to stop by and share what’s on your mind. Come out, grab a bite, and let’s talk about Burlington’s future—together.”

Lisa Kearns, Deputy Mayor of Community Engagement & Partnerships

The Food for Feedback event is a cornerstone of our commitment to community engagement, providing a platform for residents to share insights that directly influence our planning, investments, and connections. Join us in this meaningful initiative—your feedback drives impactful results and strengthens our shared vision for the community."
