Over the last decade, Burlington has evolved into a leading community at the western point of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

As an innovative and progressive city, Burlington has built a solid and diverse economy. The future prosperity of our city will continue to be shaped and embraced by the citizens and an impressive host of great businesses and community leaders.

Community involvement is vital to economic growth and public welfare and is seen as a vital commodity for business attraction and retention for any city.

Several years ago, city leaders established the framework for an intelligent community through consultation and implementation of its strategic plan. This strategy, along with community partnerships is shaping the vision for an integrated digital community, allowing Burlington to be competitive in today’s global marketplace.

Our journey has been recognized by the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) as a Smart21 community in both 2006 and 2007; a community that guides the evolution of its broadband economy and effectively utilizes it to drive economic prosperity, growth and transformation.

Looking forward, Burlington is committed to sustaining a high performance economy, enabled by broadband technologies, in partnership with our community leaders, entrepreneurs and residents.
