Budget 2023 Survey As-We-Heard-It Report

Disclaimer: The Draft Budget 2023 survey results is one of many ways the City of Ottawa collects budget input from the public. Survey results are reflective of those who participated and may not reflect the overall views shared across the many forms of input offered throughout the budget process. Residents are welcome to participate in Committee meetings, attend Councillor led public consultations, get in touch with their Counillor or share their thoughts through the City of Ottawa social media channels. The results of all feedback platforms are carefully considered and are passed along to the appropriate budget planning teams. When planning for the Draft Budget 2024 staff will be considering feedback from prior years and will work with Councillors on ensuring a revised survey that will allow residents to provide input well in advance of the budget tabling.

Opportunities for participation in our budget process
