Get Into It!

Citizen engagement brings together diverse people, including local government elected officials & staff, residents, and businesses to create innovative ideas and solutions. We want to make decisions rooted in community-based participation, but we can only do that if you speak up! Let’s work together to make sure that we’re planning for our community’s needs now and into the future.

Why do I have to register?

Constructive dialogue and rigorous decision-making require accountability. The purpose of the Village’s engagement efforts is to collect useful feedback from real people to support Village priorities and discussions, and to keep you informed and engaged on projects that are important to you. Registration allows us to be sure that real people are behind the comments and ideas on the site.

What about my privacy?

Your privacy is important to us and is protected. Your contact details will be kept confidential and will only be used to update you about the project(s) you are interested in.

What is public engagement?

Public engagement is anything we do to involve citizens and other stakeholders in Village initiatives and work. It is a way to let you know what we’re working on, gather your input, and get more people involved. It is important for everyone to get involved so that we can hear from all voices in the village whether you are a resident or business owner, a retiree, a volunteer or seasonal worker, or maybe you’re a busy professional commuting outside of the community.

Is it really worth my time?

We know your time is valuable so we’ve tried to make this as easy as possible and we appreciate your time and input. We know you have ideas and opinions, and we are committed to learning from them and incorporating them into our planning and decision-making. The more people who are informed, considering options, pondering trade-offs, and thinking about opportunities, the better our decisions will be.
