As part of the 2017 municipal budget process, city CAO Ed Archer and Chief Financial Officer Ed Stankiewicz will be making public presentations at community meetings in the next two weeks.
In a news release Tuesday, the city said Mayor Brian Bigger and ward councillors will attend these meetings, which begin tonight at 6:30 at the Onaping Falls Community Centre.
Wednesday's meeting also begins at 6:30, and will be held at the Howard Armstrong Recreation Centre Hall in Hanmer. The Legion in Minnow Lake will host Thursday's meeting, which begins at 7 p.m.
On Monday, they'll gather at 7 p.m. at St-Jean-de-Brébeuf church at the corner of Kathleen Street and Notre Dame Avenue. Wednesday's meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at Twin Forks Playground, 1475 Gary St.
Archer and Stankiewicz will give an overview of the budget, “as well as issues the municipality is navigating and opportunities for public engagement.
“Residents are reminded that an interactive online budget input tool is still available here. The online tool is available until Friday, Oct. 21, and allows residents an opportunity to identify areas of prioritization for municipal spending.
Citizens who do not have access to a computer or internet services are encouraged to visit one of the 13 library locations to access these services free of charge.”
Paper copies are also available at Citizen Service Centre and Library locations throughout the city, or available to print at GreaterSudbury.ca/budget.
