City asks for public feedback to update the multi-year budget

Released: October 9, 2020 at 9:48 a.m.

Winnipeg, MB – Winnipeggers are invited to take part in the multi-year budget 2021 update by sharing what they value most and how that may have changed since the COVID-19 pandemic.

The City of Winnipeg’s multi-year budget provides a plan for the City’s revenue and expenses from 2020-2023. This plan gives the City a blueprint for spending over four years. The multi-year budget process allows for flexibility because each year, the budget has to be approved by City Council.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic created unexpected impacts on the City. City Council now has to make decisions on how to adjust the multi-year budget to accommodate the financial impacts from the pandemic.

In order to assist Council in updating the multi-year budget for 2021, we are asking the public to take a short survey, available from October 9 to October 30. A representative sample of Winnipeggers was surveyed for the annual citizen satisfaction survey in May 2020 as well. Results are summarized and available online.

The public's input on the budget will be summarized to help inform City Council’s budget deliberations.
