  1. October 29, 2026 — Marianne Meed Ward elected mayor of Burlington, official results show: An earlier version's key date for November 16 said the Mayor and Councillors begin the 2026–2030 term that day. The City's October 28 release gives the term of office as November 15, 2026, to November 14, 2030 (the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 sets the November 15 start). November 16 is the new Council's first meeting, where members are sworn in, and the day the new ward boundaries take effect.
  2. October 29, 2026 — Burlington's 2026 tax bill rose 4.5 per cent. The 2027 budget waits for the new Council: An earlier version's key date said the Council that will set the 2027 budget takes office on November 16. The City's October 28 release gives the four-year term of office as November 15, 2026, to November 14, 2030 (the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 sets the November 15 start); November 16 is the day the new Council is sworn in.
  3. October 29, 2026 — Before the election, Council hears Aldershot GO concerns, orders a festival review and pushes on e-scooters: An earlier version said the new Council takes office on November 16. The City's October 28 release gives the four-year term of office as November 15, 2026, to November 14, 2030 (the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 sets the November 15 start); November 16 is the day the City says the new Council is sworn in.
  4. October 29, 2026 — How development applications work in Burlington, where to see their status and how to have your say: An earlier version said a new Council takes office on November 16. The City's October 28 release gives the four-year term of office as November 15, 2026, to November 14, 2030 (the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 sets the November 15 start); November 16 is the day the City says members are sworn in.
  5. October 28, 2026 — Marianne Meed Ward elected mayor of Burlington, official results show: An earlier version said results were in from all 28 voting locations. The City's election night results counted 28 polls, not voting locations; the City says it had 24 voting locations on Voting Day, with advance and online voting besides. No vote count was affected.
  6. October 27, 2026 — How to vote in Burlington's 2026 election: online, at an advance poll, on October 26 or by proxy: This story said the last time to register for online voting was 7:30 p.m. on October 23, and that the City's extension notice did not restate the deadline. The City's How to Vote page gives the deadline as 7:30 p.m. on October 25, and the story has been corrected. Its summary and search description, which still gave October 23 as the end of online voting, have also been updated. The October 9 date for calling about a missing Voter Information Letter is now attributed to the City's September 29 news release, alongside the October 13 date the How to Vote page gives.
  7. October 25, 2026 — How to vote in Burlington's 2026 election: online, at an advance poll, on October 26 or by proxy: This story originally said online voting would close at 8 p.m. on October 23. On October 20 the City extended it to 8 p.m. on October 25, after a mailing error left about 5,000 Voter Information Letters undelivered in Ward 6. The headline details above have been updated; the City's voting locations page still showed the original dates when checked on October 25.
  8. October 11, 2026 — Burlington staff ask Ontario to address data centre noise, heat and water use, citing the South Service Road proposal: An earlier version said provincial rules now being written, not a Council vote, would largely decide what conditions apply to proposals like the one on South Service Road. The City says site plan applications are reviewed and approved by City staff under the Planning Act, and Ontario's Environmental Registry notice says the proposed framework could help inform decisions on data centre connections to the electricity grid.
  9. October 9, 2026 — Council approves two Plains Road buildings, refuses a 25-storey tower and the Millcroft Greens subdivision: An earlier version described the approved building at 235 Plains Rd. E. and 1022 Gallagher Rd. as residential. The City's Notice of Decision for Official Plan Amendment No. 167 describes it as a mixed-use building with ground-floor non-residential uses.
