Please Note: this event is not organized by Social Planning Toronto but we are listing it on our website because it aligns with our mandate to promote democracy and community engagement in the Toronto City Budget process.

Budgets are about priorities. Choosing our priorities for the year and decades ahead is something we should all be involved with. This is a key time to make your voice heard and fight for our collective vision for the City we want. Your feedback is a crucial part of the budget!

We will be hosting our annual Budget Town Hall on Tuesday, January 16, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at City Hall (100 Queen Street West, Committee Room 4) or online. Register on this page to reserve your spot in person, or follow this link for Zoom!

The City faces significant financial challenges, and this budget process will not be easy. With a projected $1.5 billion operating shortfall in 2024 and a $46.5 billion shortfall over the next 10 years, it is critical for Torontonians to voice what services are most important to them and how we pay for them. What we hear from residents will help to define Toronto's priorities, guide budget decision making, and support the City's discussions with the provincial and federal governments to secure a new deal for Toronto.  

Watch this page for further information when the draft budget is released on January 10, 2024.

We are committed to the accessibility and inclusion of everyone. Please let us know if you require any accessibility accommodations to be able to participate.
