County of Brant Invites Community Input on the Development of a Public Engagement Framework Policy
The County of Brant is inviting residents, businesses, and community organizations to provide feedback that will help shape the County’s first Public Engagement Framework and Policy. This initiative aims to strengthen connections between the County and its residents through public engagement by ensuring that policies, services, and projects reflect the community’s collective needs and values.
"Your input is essential to building an even better Brant," said County of Brant Mayor, David Bailey. "When we respectfully and constructively engage with one another, we create a stronger, more connected community. I encourage everyone to participate and share their ideas."
The framework will guide how the County of Brant involves residents in future decision-making through various engagement efforts. Residents are encouraged to take the survey, attend in-person engagement events, or submit their ideas by November 25 for a chance to win County swag and gift cards.
"Your feedback will shape how we engage moving forward,” said County of Brant’s Public Consultation Specialist, Dana Steane. "This framework is about more than gathering feedback—it’s about ensuring that County residents who want to participate by sharing their thoughts and ideas have an opportunity to, and that our engagement efforts are equitable, accessible, and impactful."
Survey responses and public input will directly inform the framework and policy’s development.
