The process to put together the 2025 city budget has begun with local residents being asked to fill out a short priorities survey on the Engage Ottawa Draft Budget 2025 page which can be found at engage.ottawa.ca/citybudget-2025. The survey is open until Friday, Sept. 13, when the results will be posted on the Engage Ottawa page. Results of the survey will also trigger a series of councillor-led public consultations, the dates of which will be communicated by the councillors and shared on Engage Ottawa and various social media. Those consultations will lead up to the tabling of the Draft Budget at a special city
council meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 13. Once the proposed draft budget is released residents will be able to submit questions to City staff through Engage Ottawa and register to make public presentation to the various standing committees, including the Ottawa Library Board, the Police Services Board and the Transit Commission, which will meet to discuss their respective departmental budgets between Nov. 15 and Dec. 5. The draft budget will then be presented to council on Dec. 11 for final consideration and adoption. The Mayor of Ottawa and the four east end councillors have all voiced their desire to keep any potential tax increase for 2025 below two per cent.
