Burlington is changing
Our city is growing. The population is changing.
And so is the way we use our land
Over time, we’ve built new places to live, work, and play
to accommodate our growing community
All that New Street down there that is all full of
businesses and everything else. It used to be tomato and strawberry fields
Land is a limited resource
That’s why we need to use what we have left effectively
That’s not just our choice
All levels of government are working together to protect the Greenbelt
That means focusing future growth within our urban limit
We need to grow in place
Well, I would like to maintain a lot of green space
I'm a mom of two young kids so we spend a lot of time at the parks
As Burlington continues to change,
we need a strong vision of where we're going
and a plan to help us get there
That’s where Burlington’s Official Plan comes in
The Official Plan gives direction on all aspects of city building
from investment decisions to where and how we plan to grow
Now it’s time to review our Official Plan
to ensure that it is responding to our community’s changing needs
Imagine Burlington 20 years from now
A more sustainable and healthy city
where people can make choices that are good for them A more sustainable and healthy city
where people can make choices that are good for them
and for our environment
A beautiful city
where we can fully enjoy our natural landscapes
I come up to Mount Nemo and just go hiking along the escarpment
with the colours, it's a great place to go
A complete city
where everyone can grow and age in place
and where everything you need is close by
Everything's accessible and that definitely enhances your quality of life
As part of the Official Plan review process
we want to hear from you on topics like:
Protecting and enhancing our city’s neighbourhoods
Creating a thriving and vibrant downtown
Putting the right services in place to support our community
Providing active transportation alternatives
like walking, cycling, and transit to help us rely less on our cars
Your city is changing
The choices we make today will have a lasting impact on our city’s future
So join the conversation
We're Growing in Place
