Share Your Ideas on Public Engagement

The Township of Russell is developing a Public Engagement Policy, and we want your input! Your feedback will help shape how and when we communicate and involve residents in important decisions, programs, and services.

What is Public Engagement?

Public engagement is the process of actively seeking input from the community to guide decision-making. It promotes transparency, builds trust, and ensures that residents’ voices are heard. We recognize that opinions may vary across our diverse community, and this policy aims to create an inclusive approach to engagement.

Have Your Say – Take the Public Survey!

Help inform our Public Engagement Policy by completing our survey before April 6, 2025. Your responses will help us understand how we can improve communication and involvement with residents.
