We had the pleasure of hearing perspectives from our four councillors regarding the future policy on public engagement in the Township. They addressed four questions posed by the administration:

1. What results or objectives do you hope to achieve through public engagement?
2. What level of involvement do you expect from the public in decision-making processes?
3. In your opinion, how can the municipality better communicate and promote public engagement opportunities to reach a broader audience?
4. What additional tools or platforms would you like to see used for public engagement?

We encourage you to watch the recording of the meeting on YouTube to hear the councillors’ responses. Please note that this discussion was purely informative, and no decisions were made. The goal was to gather councillors’ viewpoints on the matter.

In the coming months, the Township will provide residents with an opportunity to share their perspectives on the future public engagement policy. More details will follow.
