This year, residents from the Bay-Cloverhill, Church Wellesley and Upper Jarvis Neighbourhoods of Cluster 1, St. Lawrence of Cluster 5 and Corktown and Canary District Neighbourhoods of Clusters 6 are invited to join us for this in-person Participatory Budgeting Ideation Workshop!
Participatory Budgeting is a system of direct democracy where residents imagine how their neighbourhood could be improved, suggest potential ideas and then vote on how funds are spent to improve their community through capital projects. For Participatory Budgeting 2025, we are introducing a hybrid idea submission system where everything that is written on the in-person submission card will be scanned and submitted directly to our platform for other community members to show support for.
Please join us so we can provide you with more information and facilitate your capital project ideas at the following sessions:

When: April 3, 6:00pm to 8:00pm

What: Cluster 5 & 6 Participatory Budgeting Ideation Workshop
