Now is your time to share your thoughts and feedback as the City prepares for the 2023 budget deliberations. Make a difference by utilizing the engagement tools to share new ideas, propose new budgets and provide any other feedback to help inform Council what you would like to see change in our community.

Our focus is to develop a budget that aligns with Council's new 2022-2025 Strategic Priorities:

  • Innovative Economic Readiness
  • Inclusive Caring Community

  • A Q&A space to ask administration questions about the budget and get live responses
  • Two Balancing Act tools to learn how the City’s operating and capital budgets are allocated and submit your own balanced budgets using an interactive budget calculator
