Help shape how the City engages with you

The City of North Vancouver is committed to engaging with our community to ensure that decisions made reflect the voices and needs of those in the community. We are developing a Community Engagement Framework so people who live, work and play within our city have meaningful opportunities to impact the decisions that affect their lives.

What is engagement?

In this project, community engagement means involving the community or individuals in the decision making process when decisions impact them. It is also known as public participation or public consultation.

What is an engagement framework?

An engagement framework is a consistent, equitable approach to engagement that helps the City make informed decisions and develop trusting relationships with the community. Our Community Engagement Framework will be informed by input from those who live, work and play within the City of North Vancouver, along with informed practices from the International Association of Public Participation (IAP2) and other municipalities across Canada.

The process for developing our Community Engagement Framework will offer opportunities to provide input over the coming year.
