The city of Ottawa released its draft 2023 budget that includes serious cuts to transit. What can residents do to influence the budget process?
On Monday, February 6th (7:00pm – 8:30pm EST), Horizon Ottawa will host an online training session on how to make your voice heard regarding the city budget.
Click Budget 101 for more details or to sign up.
On Thursday, February 9th (9:30 AM), the Transit Commission will hold its first meeting of the new council session. The proposed agenda is here.
To sign up as a delegate, email Eric Pelot, Committee Coordinator at [email protected] Indicate which agenda item you wish to speak to.
Most city councillors will host “consultations” in their neighbourhoods over the next few weeks to discuss the budget. Some councillors in neighbouring wards will host joint-sessions. Please contact your own councillor to find out when their session will be held or check the list provided on the city of Ottawa website.
Such sessions can be an excellent way to meet your councillor, advocate for causes that matter to you, and network with like-minded neighbours.
The city of Ottawa has a list of upcoming ward consultations and further information on how to participate.
