Budgeting is happening a little earlier for the City this year – bumped up to Fall from 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 2024? Details on specific proposed projects within the City’s budget? This is your opportunity!

Prince Rupert City Council will receive the 2024 Proposed Budget at a Special Meeting on November 6th, 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 14th Council meeting – after which Council can make their decisions with respect to approved spending for 2024. 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 (link to be provided after November 6th), email finance@princerupert.ca or call (250) 627 0935.
