The City’s budget is complete and the public will get to add their thoughts later this month.

Mayor Colleen Smook commented on City Beat yesterday.

“Budget is wrapped up, the public meeting to let everyone know what’s happening will be July 17th. It’s a very good budget, we addressed public safety as one of our main priorities this year so I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised with this budget.”

Smook acknowledged that the budget was late in being completed, and that it was delayed even further while City staff were busy helping with wildfire evacuees in May and June.

A draft of the budget will be available for review before the public meeting at the City’s website, thompson.ca.
