Ottawa’s Draft Budget 2024 was tabled recently at City Council, invests in advancing
Ottawa to be a resilient, affordable, and connected city. This year’s budget development
process includes various enhancements to improve budget literacy, transparency and
make it easier for residents to become engaged, like a new interactive and user-
friendly Budget Tool and a Budget Tabling Report that highlights 2024 investments in a
more simple, user-friendly manner.
The proposed budget will be considered by all Standing Committees in the coming
weeks, then considered and adopted by Council on Wednesday, December 6.

I’m thrilled that the city’s draft budget contains design & construction funding for a
much-needed new recreational complex in Riverside South that will serve southeast
Ottawa communities.
I look forward to continuing work on this project and delivering results for residents of
Riverside South – Findlay Creek!
