Leamington launches new community engagement website

LEAMINGTON – The Municipality of Leamington has launched a new online community engagement platform to enhance two-way dialogue between residents and the municipality on municipal projects and initiatives.

Let’s Talk Leamington is an interactive online space for community members to learn about municipal projects and programs, share feedback, and contribute ideas on matters important to them.

“As we continue to modernize the way the municipality engages with its citizens, this new site offers a safe, convenient and accessible way for our community to join the conversation,” said Peter Neufeld, Chief Administrative Officer. “Leamington is a culturally rich municipality, and we are hopeful our digital engagement efforts will reach a larger part of our population, including our young adults, ensuring diverse voices have a seat at the table.”

Municipal projects included on Let’s Talk Leamington will range in scope and impact, with many requiring public input. Initiatives currently available on the site are the municipality’s transition to on-demand transit, the replacement project of five municipal playgrounds, and an overview of Leamington’s By-law Enforcement division.

The website offers a variety of feedback methods including, surveys, polls, discussion forums and question-and-answer boards, giving residents additional ways to engage with the municipality interactively.

“We want to hear your ideas, listen to your stories and work together to enhance all things Leamington,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “I look forward to these conversations that I know will help bring our community closer together.”

The platform is monitored by municipal employees who will moderate, answer questions, provide project updates and share feedback with Leamington Council for consideration in important decision-making processes.
