Public Budget Consultation #2
2023-04-24 19:00 - 19:30 (America/Vancouver)
The City is looking to engage with residents about the Draft 2023 budget, as we plan for our next five-year budget cycle from 2023 to 2027. We continue to have a busy five years ahead, with major infrastructure renewal taking up a significant amount of staff energy, as well as available funds. In this year, as in past years, we work hard to balance our community’s many needs and priorities.
This event is the second of two in-person public budget consultations.
Venue: Council Chambers, City Hall – 424 3rd Avenue West, Prince Rupert
Organizer: City of Prince Rupert
