Budget 2025 Consultation

It’s your city and your budget, so we want to hear from you! Your feedback helps inform the City’s budget priorities and contributes to decisions about investments in services that you want.

Join councillors Brown, Desroches, Lo, and me on Tuesday November 19, 2024, 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm for a public virtual consultation and information session to learn more about the budget process and what’s planned for 2025.

The presentations will be in English only, but bilingual staff will be on hand to help where needed. Following the presentations, an open question-and-answer session will be available for participating residents.

About the budget process

Every year, the City of Ottawa produces a municipal budget. One of the City’s most important documents, the budget is the blueprint that defines how resources are collected and allocated. The overall budget comprises two main components – the Operating Budget and the Capital Budget.
