Civic hacknight #426 - Making sense of Toronto's budget process (VIRTUAL)

*This is the virtual registration for this event. To attend in person, please RSVP here.

It’s hard to make heads or tails of the City’s budget. As a large and complex city, Toronto has a large and complex budget!

This year, the City has more opportunities than ever before to get involved and share your perspective. Together, let’s:

• talk budget basics
• take a look at the proposed 2024 budget
• dive into divisional budget notes in a breakout

Learn more about the proposed 2024 budget and how to get involved at Toronto.ca/Budget
