City officials are slated to begin discussions next month about how to spend your tax dollars in 2017 - and they want you to weigh in.

The first round of budget talks gets underway at city hall, 2141 Major Mackenzie Dr., Monday, Nov. 7, starting at 7 p.m. Additional meetings have been scheduled for Nov. 14 and Nov. 28.

A special council meeting to approve the budget is planned for Tuesday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m.

As with last year, your property taxes won’t be going up by more than 3 per cent, because in 2014 council imposed a cap making that the maximum amount of any increase. Those who can’t attend the budget meetings can watch online at vaughan.ca and provide feedback through a form found at vaughan.ca/budget.

You can also email questions, comments or concerns to budgeting@vaughan.ca.

Alternatively, you can call 905-832-8610 and leave a message that will be shared with council.

You can also join the conversation on the city’s Twitter feed and Facebook page by using #vaughanbudget2017.
