2022 Budget

Note: A public budget meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 23 to hear from the community on the preliminary 2022 Budget Guideline. Register to speak during the public meeting on June 23 by contacting the City Clerk's Office.

The City engages with residents to gather ideas and feedback as it drafts the budget each year for City Council’s consideration.

The City consults with the community throughout the budget process – at the beginning when setting the guidelines, when the draft budget is released, and before Council considers approving the budget.

Each year, Council considers community priorities, expected service levels, and legislated responsibilities as it sets the operating and capital budgets for the City of Peterborough.

The Budget Roadshow usually includes casual drop-in-style meetings in each of the five wards of the City to give residents an opportunity to talk to Council members and City staff about their priorities for the community ahead of Council setting the guidelines for the development of the next year's draft budget. With the public health measures in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the Budget Roadshow went virtual this year. You'll find dates and information on how to participate in the Key Dates section on the right side of the project page as well as in the Updates section below.

A brief survey on community priorities was provided as one way for residents and businesses to provide input into the creation of the guidelines for the 2022 Budget.

We'll continue to update this project page throughout the 2022 Budget process. Check back for updates and details on other opportunities to engage throughout the budget process.

Thank you for joining the conversation on the 2022 Budget.
