Why is the City of Delta using an online public engagement platform?

Public engagement usually involves attending an open house, public meeting, or providing a letter to Council. Using an online public engagement platform is an effort made by the City of Delta to reach more residents and to give residents an opportunity to provide input on projects and to bring ideas forward.

• It is a great way to keep up-to-date and provide input.
• View comments and input that other residents are providing and respond with your own views.
• An opportunity to participate without having to attend a public engagement session.

Why do I need to sign up for this site to provide input?

We ask you to sign up for the online platform because:

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

What happens to my input?

All input and ideas are compiled and sent to the relevant project manager to inform the recommendation and/or decision making.

Input provided online is used in collaboration with other in-person consultation activities like open houses, public meetings, pop-up events, workshops, and other similar activities.

Note: All comments you make through Let's Talk Delta become public records.

Is my privacy protected?

Your privacy is protected and the City will only use your email address to contact you with updates and to invite you to participate in consultations. Your email address will not be distributed to any third party or used for any other purpose.
