Back to SearchThe City of Yellowknife invites residents to help shape the 2025 budget. Residents can submit project proposal(s) from Wednesday, July 17, 2024 to Friday, August 16, 2024 via an online form on the City’s website.
This new form allows residents to submit a complete project proposal with a cost estimate, giving consideration to Council’s Strategic Directions and to tax and service implications. Residents are asked to complete all sections to the best of their ability. The information collected will allow Council to more easily assess the feasibility of the projects proposed and their alignment with Council’s objectives. Residents are reminded that the City is not permitted to run a deficit budget, and as such, any increased costs associated with the proposals submitted must be funded through a tax increase or a service/program reduction.
More information on the City budget can be found on our website. For questions related to the 2025 budget development process, email budget@yellowknife.ca. To make a presentation at the Council meeting on *October 15, 2024, email cityclerk@yellowknife.ca or call (867) 920-5602 by October 10, 2024 at 10 a.m.
*Please note that presentations will now be heard at the October 28, 2024 Council meeting.
