Please join Councillors Ariel Troster and Jeff Leiper on Thursday June 26 from 7 to 9pm at the Plant Recreation Centre, 930 Somerset Street West.
The budget is one of the city’s most important documents. Our goal is to have a conversation about building a people-centered budget that enhances services and infrastructure in the urban core.
The 2026 budget will not be tabled until this fall. In the meantime, councillor-led consultations like this one will take place throughout the city.
In addition to city staff, we will have a series of presenters on hand to provide context on their respective areas of expertise:
- Somerset West Community Health Centre’s Suzanne Obiorah on community health and wellbeing
- StrategyCorp’s Joanne Chianello on municipal finance
- Centretown Citizens Ottawa Corporation’s Sarah Button on affordable housing
