The Mayor’s Task Force on Transparency, Access, and Accountability (MTFTAA) is looking for your ideas and feedback on how to increase transparency, accountability, and access within the City of Hamilton. This consultation builds off various City-led consultations such as the Reimagining Public Participation Consultation and Our City Survey done in 2022.

There are four ways you can participate in this public consultation:

From past consultations we understand that members of our community often feel they are not included in City decision making and want to know more on how City activities or decisions impact your local neighborhood. We also know that the services our community feels function well are things like our Libraries and Bookmobiles, Fire and Paramedic services and our parks and open spaces. Whereas community members want to see improvements in other areas such as community housing, social services, traffic and roadways as well as building permits.

The responses to this consultation will inform a final report which will make specific recommendations to City Council on how to improve the following:

  • Public access to productively engage with the City of Hamilton: Ensuring that community members and organizations have clear, accessible channels for participation and feedback in city governance.
  • Transparency regarding City of Hamilton activities and decisions: Increasing the visibility and openness of the City's operations and decision-making processes to build trust and accountability.
  • The City of Hamilton demonstrating accountability to our communities: Implementing measures to ensure that the City’s actions and decisions are responsive to the needs and concerns of its diverse population, fostering a sense of responsibility and reliability.
  • Propose practical steps to enhance trust: Developing clear and feasible next steps aimed at building and maintaining trust between the City of Hamilton and its residents.
