2025 Budget Consultation Results

At the January 14, 2025, Committee of the Whole meeting focused on the 2025 budget, staff presented the results of the 2025 Budget Consultation.

Read the 2025 Budget Consultation Results report to Council.

This year, to collect feedback on the upcoming budget and 5-year financial plan, we:

• Created a detailed budget consultation document for public review
• Collected feedback through a survey (online and paper version) and email
• Hosted a town hall on December 17 where Mayor & Council responded to comments and questions from community members
• Invited the public to comment on the budget at the January 14, 2025 Committee of the Whole Meeting

We received:

• 31 online survey responses (the same number of responses as last year)
  • A summary of the survey responses is attached to the 2025 Budget Consultation Results report to Council.
• Two emails commenting on the budget
• Approximately 40 community members at the town hall
  • Most submitted comments and questions beforehand or at the event itself
