Council is enthusiastic about building on the success of last year’s budget consultation process which enabled community groups to work directly with the relevant Councillor in regards to particular budget proposals. As part of the consultation process, two additional discussion forums have been established to enable residents to gain insight into the budgeting process and fully understand the current revenue and expenditure picture for the Municipality.

• Discussion Forum - Monday, February 4 at Maplewood Hall 7:00 p.m.
• Discussion Forum - Thursday, February 7 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre at 2:00 p.m. (View "Facebook Live" recording)
• February 13 – Receive community requests (View recorded livestream here - under Past Meetings>Special Meetings)
• February 20 – Decisions on community requests
• February 27 – Review operational budget
