This evening, we're hosting a Pints & Politics event at Brewsters Unity Square (11620 104th Avenue NW, Edmonton, AB T5K 2T7). We've organized some casual drinks so that like-minded Edmontonians can get together and chat about what's going on in politics. There is no formal agenda or program, so feel free to come and go anytime between 5:30 pm and 8:30 pm. The event will take place in the private room upstairs (which is only accessible by staircase, sorry!). Attendance is free, but RSVPs are required, so that we know how many people to expect. Please click here to RSVP.
Today and tomorrow, at 9:30 am each day, there will be Non-Statutory Public Hearings regarding the 2023-2026 Capital Budget, Operating Budget, and Carbon Budget. Residents wanting to speak at the hearing can fill out the City’s form. Should you not wish to speak, but still have thoughts to share, you can write to your Councillor and tell them how you feel about increased property taxes.
On Wednesday, at 9:30 am, there will be a City Council meeting to discuss the aforementioned budgets. There are several continuations scheduled between Wednesday and December 16th as the budget will require numerous days of debate. Council will hear presentations from a number of organizations such as the Telus World of Science, the Police Commission, and the Federation of Community Leagues, detailing their funding asks.
