Ask Me About the Budget: Session 3 with Sustainable Development and Edmonton Economic Development Corporation
Now is your chance to ask one or more of Edmonton’s senior managers about the City budget, and the programs and services the City provides.
Do you have questions about how the City manages downtown and suburban development, parks and biodiversity and affordable housing? Post your questions here, and on Friday, November 20, we’ll have senior managers from City departments answer those questions live during one of a series of “Ask Me About the Budget” sessions. This is the third in a series of four sessions on the budget.
