Community Engagement Charter

In April 2013, Burlington City Council approved the first Burlington Community Engagement Charter. The Charter was created by residents with support from staff. It is an agreement between and among Burlington City Council and the community concerning resident engagement with City government and establishes the commitments, responsibilities and fundamental concepts of this relationship.
In 2023, the City of Burlington’s Community Engagement Charter is turning 10 years old. In order to ensure the City keeps up with the changing needs and wants of the growing Burlington community, we are looking for feedback on how the Community Engagement Charter can be refreshed to reflect how the City of Burlington is evolving.
