Some project tiles will have opportunities for input, whereas some tiles might be for sharing information.  

Project tiles that have opportunities for sharing input will show these towards the bottom of the project tile and may come in a variety of forms including surveys, question and answer, forums and a few other formats.  The format(s) used will be based upon the type of feedback being requested.

Some project engagement opportunities will require that site users register for the online platform.   By doing this:

• it helps to minimize the chance of the public engagement being manipulated by someone who leaves many comments in support of a particular position; and
• it allows us to update residents if there are changes about the consultation or the project.

If technology or accessibility considerations exist for participation, staff will assist with paper based versions of surveys, polls or similar engagement tools.
