Mayor Olivia Chow and Budget Committee Chair Shelley Carroll held consultations October 1 to 31 to hear your ideas about the City’s 2025 Budget. An online survey was available in 12 languages (English, French, Chinese-simplified, Chinese-traditional, Farsi, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, Tamil and Urdu) and consultations were held in Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, Toronto and virtually.

The City engaged Albion Neighbourhood Services and other community partners, as well as the Toronto Youth Cabinet and the Toronto Aboriginal Support Services Council, to facilitate community-led consultations with Black, Indigenous and equity-deserving communities and youth city-wide. A community discussion guide was also provided to encourage neighbourhood budget discussions.

The results of the consultations will be presented to the Budget Committee on Monday, January 13, 2025, and will accompany the committee’s recommendations to inform the Mayor’s proposed budget which will be released by Saturday, February 1, 2025.
