Consultation has concluded
As we all adjust to doing business in a time of COVID-19, there are many conversations happening about how we continue to do the regular day-to-day business of cities. This includes seeking feedback from the public on policies, programs and projects. On March 17, the City postponed any planned public engagement activities based on public health recommendations around in-person meetings and physical distancing at the time.
As we listen to our provincial and federal updates, it is becoming clear that working virtually and maintaining physical distancing is going to be the new normal for a while. With that in mind, we want to consider how we continue to do our public engagement work virtually in a way that respects our public engagement principles.
There are several projects the city had planned to engage on this spring including: sidewalk snow clearing, Churchill Square and wayfinding signage.
Before we restart our public engagement efforts for projects, we want your feedback. Please take a few minutes to answer the questions below.
