To better understand the ongoing needs of residents and businesses and to provide maximum transparency, we are seeking input from those who live and work within the City.

• To assist workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 emergency;
• For the provision of government services impacted by reduction in revenue due to the COVID-19 emergency; and
