This ensures that community needs and perspectives inform City decisions, leading to more effective governance and a stronger relationship between the City and residents.<\/p>\n<p>Public consultations are central to the decision-making at the City. Consultations encourage connections and inclusivity, allowing for meaningful dialogue, ideation, collaboration and feedback. Residents and businesses are invited to share their input in a variety of ways. While each consultation opportunity might vary, from information sessions, open houses and workshops to online engagement opportunities and surveys, feedback helps to shape our City to better meet your needs.<\/p>\n<p>Stay informed and engaged<\/p>\n<p>For an overview of City projects currently seeking input and feedback please visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/yoursay.mississauga.ca\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">yoursay.mississauga.ca<\/a>.
