Municipal Budget Submission

On behalf of the local business community, the Chamber presents recommendations to City Council each year during the budget consultation process. Greater transparency and accountability, better value for money and a more equitable distribution of the municipal tax load by businesses and residents have been major themes in the past.

Submission content is guided by annual surveys of membership.
