Sign By-law Survey

From time to time, the City updates its by-laws to reflect the community’s changing needs. 

With the City’s new By-law Compliance department being established in 2022/2023, we are now able to dedicate more comprehensive oversight of all bylaws. We routinely assess bylaw effectiveness and consider whether to recommend rescinding, updating or dedicating more education efforts towards City by-laws.

We’d love to hear your thoughts! Take a few minutes to fill out the survey and let us know what matters most to you. The by-laws listed in this survey have been selected for a variety of reasons, such as community interest, relevance, or recent trends in nearby municipalities. Your feedback will help guide how we shape by-laws to better reflect our community.

Non-identifiable summaries of responses may be developed and shared publicly. For questions regarding the collection, use and disclosure of this information, please contact shannon.doornik@burlington.ca The survey is available in print, alternative formats or with communication support by contacting getinvolved@burlington.ca.
