Government Public Engagement
The City of Beaumont supports public engagement to identify, understand and develop strategies that reflect the needs and concerns of residents and stakeholders.
The City values public engagement for the information gathered to help make well-informed decisions about municipal policies, programs, services and initiatives.
All citizens are encouraged to give feedback and participate in public engagement in its many forms. Watch for opportunities at events, view the public notices for surveys or participate in Council meetings. Find examples of past surveys on the public notices page.
Public hearings allow citizens to provide their views to Council on proposed bylaws. Find out about upcoming public hearings, read about public hearing procedures and register to speak.
The Open Forum is a chance for citizens of Beaumont to ask questions or present on matters of public interest. Registration is required to speak at any Open Forum.
The City of Beaumont’s approach to public participation is guided by best practices and the Public Participation Council Policy [pdf] approved by Council. The International Association of Public Participation Spectrum is used to identify the type of engagement being used. The type of engagement will be determined by what decision is being made and how the public can be involved with this process. It can be focused on gaining input from the public, listening and learning from the public, collaborating with the public, or empowering the public.
