Though the Local Government Act mandates public hearing processes and other ‘appropriate consultation’ when developing or adopting certain strategies, plans and bylaws, there is a growing expectation among community members that they will be invited to provide more meaningful input into the decisions that affect them—and an expectation that the input they provide will meaningfully impact the final decision.
In support of our newly-released Community Engagement Action Guide, this webinar is for local government staff seeking to better integrate an equity lens into their public engagement efforts.
