Provide your feedback
There are several ways you can be involved in the budget process.
You can take our budget survey to share your thoughts and priorities on City services, spending, and taxes. It’s available until November 30. Your feedback will help City Council as it finalizes the preliminary budget for 2026.
You can also speak in-person or remotely as a delegate at the appropriate committee meeting. Written submissions for the public record are also accepted.
If you’d like to submit a written comment or register as a delegation, you need to submit a public submission form. The deadline for the forms is noon of the business day before the meeting.
Appearing as a delegate
When registering as a delegation for a Standing Policy Committee or Executive Policy Committee, you can identify the specific budget item you wish to address. You can also speak to the budget, generally.
When registering as a delegation at the meeting of Council, you must identify whether you support or oppose the proposed budget.
Public meetings to hear delegations and consider changes to the preliminary budget begin on December 1. Council will consider the Preliminary 2026 Budget Update on December 17.
