Thank you to everyone who joined the 2025 Budget meeting this week.
Staff provided a slideshow outlining the city budget process (see below for the slide deck). Both staff, Councillor’s Johnson, Devine, and I answered questions and took away your comments, questions, and priorities for the 2025 Budget.
If you missed the meeting, you can view it on my YouTube channel.
There is still time to submit comments and questions about the 2025 budget. Email: Budget@ottawa.ca and please CC bayward@ottawa.ca so that I and my office can see your comments, questions, and priorities for the 2025 Budget.
