Burlington City Council approves Virtual Statutory Public Meetings
At Burlington City Council on Monday, May 25, Council received details on the City’s approach to virtual statutory public meetings in accordance with the Planning Act, and the addition of an August committee cycle of meetings.
The City of Burlington is allowing virtual statutory public meetings beginning this July. Staff are developing a process so virtual meetings can work as closely as possible to an in-person meeting. Residents are encouraged to pre-register but there will be staff in place to help those who need to register during the meeting.
