Upcoming 2020 City of Ottawa budget consultations

Ottawa residents will have several opportunities in the coming weeks to inform the City’s draft 2020 budget. Starting on Tuesday, October 15, City Councillors have organized a series of multi-ward sessions where residents can share budget comments and provide input on priorities and potential savings.

City staff will consider the suggestions and ideas arising from these consultations as they develop the draft budget, which will be tabled at City Council on Wednesday, November 6.

The City has budget background information and resource materials to help you contribute to the conversation at one of the following consultations:
