The Town of Ajax, Ontario, is holding a public meeting on April 16, 2026, to get feedback on a new plan to make municipal services and workplaces more welcoming for everyone. The session takes place from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the McLean Community Centre in the Community Room at 95 Magill Drive. This event is the first time the municipality has built a specific strategy to guide how it includes different perspectives in its daily operations and long-term policies.
Local staff are focusing the new plan on five areas, including leadership culture, fair decision-making, and inclusive programs for residents. Mayor Shaun Collier encouraged people to join the discussion, noting that the plan helps ensure town practices reflect the actual experiences of people living in the community. The project is being managed entirely by town employees to address the specific needs of the local population.
Residents who are unable to attend the in-person session can complete an online survey until April 17, 2026. This work builds on previous community efforts, such as the work of the Ajax Anti-Racism Task Force and the town’s ongoing commitment to being a sanctuary city. The feedback collected will help shape how the town provides services to one of the most diverse populations in the country.
The final version of the plan will go before the Ajax Town Council in June 2026. Those who wish to attend the meeting at the community centre are required to register before the event. The goal of the project is to create a more equitable future for all residents as the community continues to grow.
