  • Public Engagement Policy and Strategy

    In June 2021, the Public Engagement Policy was adopted by City Council. The policy provides clarity for all City staff – and the New Westminster community – on standards and expectations for public engagement activities delivered by the City of New Westminster. The policy applies across all City of New Westminster departments, as well as engagement work carried out by contractors and consultants on behalf of the City.

    The Public Engagement Policy was developed based on one of 35 actions identified in the City’s Public Engagement Strategy, which was adopted in 2016 following a Mayor’s Task Force on Public Engagement. Implementation of the strategy is ongoing.
