Councillor Chris Moise enthusiastically invites you to a community gathering on Saturday, April 13, 2024, at the Wellesley Community Centre. This event is focused on 'Participatory Budgeting' - an inclusive democratic process that empowers residents of a neighbourhood to decide how to allocate a portion of the public budget.
During this meeting, we'll thoroughly explain the workings of participatory budgeting, including the process of submitting ideas, understanding feasibility and costing reviews, qualifying criteria, and the voting process. Not only does this method encourage community participation and decision-making, but it also leads to projects that align with the community's needs and aspirations.
This event also offers a unique opportunity for residents to submit their ideas in person, facilitating direct communication and feedback.
Please join us to learn more and take part in shaping the future of our community. Together, let's ensure that our budget decisions reflect our shared needs, goals, and aspirations for a better, more inclusive community.
