Prince George residents have their first opportunity to voice how they think next year’s budget should be designed.
The City of Prince George kicked off its initial phase of budget engagement today (Tuesday) with five check-up surveys to help staff and council better prioritize service levels and budget decisions.
Engagement phases
Phase one runs from now until October 7th and focuses on resident experiences with City services, community priorities, and opportunities for improvement.
Service areas include parks and trails, events and recreation, snow removal, protective services, and roads and sidewalks.
Surveys are available online or in-person at both Prince George Public Library locations, City Hall, Elder Citizens Recreation Association, Immigrant and Multicultural Services Society, Hart Pioneer Centre, and the South Fort George Family Resource Centre.
The results will be presented to Council for consideration later this fall.
In addition, phase two begins on November 27th and invites residents to answer more focused questions on spending priorities and related potential property tax impacts.
This will feature an online survey and in-person events through November and December. Results will be presented to council for consideration prior to budget deliberations in the New Year.
