Nanaimo will host town hall for city budget 

Nanaimo city council will work on the 2026-2030 financial plan this month. Councillors will discuss the budget at three special finance and audit committee meetings on Nov. 21, 28 and Dec. 3. 

The city will host a one-hour budget town hall on Dec. 1 during a council meeting. It starts at 7 p.m. and will give residents a chance to ask questions and provide input. 

“From road repairs to park improvements to garbage pickup, the city budget impacts our daily lives. This is a great opportunity to learn about how the budgeting process works and what next year’s priorities are. I encourage Nanaimo citizens to review the draft budget, join us at the budget presentations and get your budget-related questions ready for the e-town hall,” Mayor Leonard Krog said. 

Residents can also participate on the city’s website.
