The Budget Open House will feature information displays that encourage citizens to ask questions, share ideas and offer input on the upcoming budget. It will also be an opportunity to learn more about the budget planning process, how property taxes are determined, and about current priorities being considered for the 2019 Budget.

Ponoka citizens are also invited to attend budget deliberation meetings on November 21 and 22 when Town Council meets to discuss and deliberate the details of the 2019 Budget.

“Our annual public consultation process on the budget is an important part of the Town’s ongoing commitment to invite public participation in Council decision-making processes,” says Ponoka Mayor Rick Bonnett. “Inviting public input allows Town Council to make more informed and thoughtful decisions that reflect what residents value most,” says Mayor Bonnett.
