The importance of community engagement
Community engagement increases the visibility and understanding of issues and empowers communities to have their say over decisions that affect their lives, their towns, cities and neighbourhoods.
It provides opportunities for community members to contribute to public decision-making processes while informing and educating communities on policy issues that impact their everyday lives. Through feedback, community engagement enables government and public decision-making organisations to listen and, in turn, demonstrate the impact of community contribution. Community engagement, then, builds deeper, stronger and more trusting relationships between public organisations and communities.
The City of Barrie uses community engagement to achieve sustainable outcomes, create equitable decision-making processes, and deepen relationships with members of the community.
