Starting on June 10 with its first meeting, Mississauga’s Budget Committee will begin the process of reviewing the 2016 Business Plan and City Budget. The Budget is the document that outlines how City resources are spent to support programs/services and advance the Strategic Plan.
Public Engagement
Budget Committee meetings will have dedicated time for residents, businesses, special interest groups and taxpayers to provide input in the budget process. Residents can attend the budget meetings or watch them live via the City’s website; meetings are also archived so they can be viewed any time.
