Each year we conduct a Civic Service Satisfaction survey early in the year to get input from residents and businesses on how we are doing at delivering important services in communities every day. That feedback helps to guide the development of the draft annual budget.
We then conduct engagement on the budget a number of ways including:
- Face-to-face in your community
- Online
- Talk Vancouver survey
- Sessions with key community stakeholders
All of the public's input on the budget helps to inform City Council’s deliberation of the draft budget, leading to the approval of a final budget for the upcoming year.

The feedback and engagement cycle for the 2020 budget is now complete.
