Each year we conduct public engagement to get input from residents and businesses to guide the development of the draft annual budget.
Public input on the budget helps inform Council when deliberating the draft budget. This leads to approval of a final budget for the upcoming year.

Public engagement for the 2025 Budget will be conducted between August 21 and September 16, 2024.
