For the second year, we are holding public budget consultations in the Fall instead of Spring to enable City staff to proceed with purchasing for the upcoming year and to provide additional information to the community to inform their own budgets. This public budget session has been scheduled as an information sharing opportunity with the community for you to come and hear about the City’s priorities and constraints. Want to know more about our major plans for waterline replacements? Changes to revenues and expenses? The proposed tax rate based on planned services and capital projects for 2025? Details on specific proposed projects within the City’s budget? This is your opportunity!

Prince Rupert City Council will receive the 2025 Proposed Budget at a Special Meeting on October 21st, where the full budget/document will be provided and released. This meeting on the Thursday following is a first opportunity for the public to come and ask questions about proposed spending. In addition to this public session will be a second opportunity at the November 12th Council meeting - after which Council can make their decisions with respect to approved spending for 2025. Can't attend the session but have questions and/or want to weigh in? Check out our Balancing Act public budget software that allows you to directly weigh in on spending priorities (open until November 15th), email finance@princerupert.ca or call (250) 627 0935.

Please note - the budget simulation tool is open as of October 22nd following the presentation of the Proposed 2025 Budget to Council. Follow the link to participate: Prince Rupert Canada: Tell us your 2025 Priorities - Balancing Act
