What Happens with Your Input

Citizen input on the 2027 Town of Ponoka Annual Budget will be collected and presented to Town Council for careful review and consideration during the 2027 Budget deliberation process. The Citizen Input Survey results are also carefully reviewed by Town Administration before preparing the 2027 Draft Budget documents for Council review and deliberations.

Town Council budget deliberations will be held in the fall in Council Chambers on the third floor of the Ponoka Civic Centre. Budget deliberations are open to the public. A summary of the citizen input received will also be shared with the public here on LetsTalkPonoka.ca later in the fall.
