HAVE YOUR SAY ABOUT YOUR WARD
What services and infrastructure do you want to see in College
Ward? Now is your opportunity to have your say as the City develops its
budget for 2021.
Next year’s budget will be a challenging one due to the COVID-19
pandemic. The City is working on a budget that limits the property-tax
increase to no more than three per cent – keeping Ottawa affordable,
especially for those who have faced financial hardship
because of the pandemic.
We are in unprecedented times and there are a lot of financial
unknowns, meaning 2021 will be a lean year for Ottawa. Since the City
will have fewer options for how to spend its money, your feedback will
be especially important to make sure we’re investing
our dollars where they're needed most.
There are many ways to share your comments about our ward and the priorities you would like to focus on:
• Post feedback or ask questions on social media using #OttBudget.
• Call 3-1-1.
• Use the tools on Engage Ottawa.
• Contact our office at (613) 580-2478 or Rick.Chiarelli@Ottawa.ca.
Message sent by the Offices of Councillor Rick Chiarelli:
After the draft budget is tabled at City Council on Wednesday,
November 4, you can also speak at a standing committee, commission or
board meeting when they consider their portion of the budget in November
and December.
To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, ward budget consultation
sessions will be virtual this year. Please join us on October 29th at
7:00 pm to discuss investments in our community.
Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to working with you
and the rest of our community about how to allocate funding in College
Ward.
You are invited to a Zoom webinar.
