Have your say on Draft Budget 2025 by attending a Councillor consultation The City of Ottawa wants to hear from you as we prepare Draft Budget 2025. In the coming weeks, you will have several opportunities to shape the City’s draft budget. Starting Monday, October 7, Councillors will be hosting consultation sessions where residents can share comments and provide input on the City’s priorities and where to find potential savings. Find a budget consultation near you by visiting Engage Ottawa. Additional sessions are still being planned. Please note that dates and times are subject to change.
