Budget Comments and Council Consideration 

Council encourages public consultations during the budget creation process.

Public comments obtained during the consultation period are incorporated as an appendix within the Staff Report presented to Council during the respective budget meetings. Comment deadlines and meeting dates will be updated on this page for each upcoming budget season.
