Starting tomorrow (Thursday), Coquitlam residents can weigh in on their spending priorities as part of the city’s online Citizen Budget tool.
The process takes about eight minutes to complete and gives residents the opportunity to design their own budget funding levels for various services, such as garbage pickup, recreation, roads and fire. Participants can then see the impact their choices have on a mock tax bill.
Coquitlam has used the Citizen Budget website since 2014 and said it has helped guide the city’s financial decision making.
The online tool can be found at www.coquitlam.ca/budget between Nov. 1 and 30.
