Earlier this spring, we asked Calgarians to share what matters most for the next four‑year budget.

The What We Heard report is now available. It shares what participants told us - like the importance of core services, affordability and long‑term planning.

This feedback will be used by Administration and Council as they make budget decisions later this year, along with other information.

You’ll have another chance to share your feedback with Council through Public Submissions in November.
