PRINCE GEORGE – Want to give your two cent’s worth on the upcoming City budget? Now you have two chances to do so.
The first is the Talktober event with the mayor, set to take place on Tuesday, October 27, beginning at 7 p.m. There are a pair of ways to participate. You can register on Eventbrite or you can email your questions to mayoradmin@princegeorge.ca or dial 3-1-1.
Also, the City has launched the Citizen Budget.
That is an online survey that provides an opportunity for respondents to enter their property assessment into the interactive budget simulator to see how their personal or business property tax is allocated across a variety of City services. The tool also indicates how their choices about the financial allocations to service areas would be reflected in their property taxes.
That can be accessed via the City’s website at https://princegeorge.ca.
Budget discussions are expected to start early than normal this year as the City is facing some significant challenges because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
