Horizon 2050 is a chance to imagine a city that’s not only resilient and sustainable but also deeply connected—a place where everyone can feel at home.
Burlington is looking ahead—way ahead. The city has started work on Horizon 2050, a new long-term vision and strategic plan that will guide decision-making for the next quarter century. It’s a bold effort to imagine what kind of city Burlington could become by mid-century—and residents are being asked to help shape that vision.
What Horizon 2050 Is All About
Horizon 2050 isn’t just another planning document. It’s a roadmap that will influence how Burlington grows, adapts, and thrives over the next 25 years. The plan will guide city leadership on everything from housing and transportation to sustainability and community well-being.
At its core, this project is about building a Burlington that’s future ready, community focused, and thriving for generations to come.
Why Public Input Matters
The people who live and work in Burlington are being invited to take part in the conversation. What residents share will directly influence City Council’s priorities—the policies, programs, and investments that shape daily life.
Whether it’s ensuring everyone feels connected, protecting green spaces, or creating housing and transportation options that meet people’s needs, Horizon 2050 is about making choices that reflect Burlington’s shared values.
How You Can Get Involved
There are several ways residents can take part throughout October:
Take the online survey between Oct. 1 and 31 to share your thoughts and priorities.
Join a public meeting—either in person or online—to discuss ideas with neighbours and city representatives.
Stay up to date by following the project page for updates, reports, and “What We Heard” summaries.
Spread the word in your community. Talk about Burlington’s future with friends, neighbours, and local groups—and encourage them to participate too.
Looking Toward 2050
The choices made today will shape the Burlington of tomorrow. Horizon 2050 is a chance to imagine a city that’s not only resilient and sustainable but also deeply connected—a place where everyone can feel at home.
If you care about the kind of community Burlington becomes over the next 25 years, now’s the time to speak up. The future is being written, and your voice is part of the story.
