Winnipeg, MB – Residents are invited to provide feedback on five proposed funding models to help ensure planning certainty for the City of Winnipeg and sustainable and predictable funding for the Winnipeg Police Service.
The increased demand on City services, due largely to growth and other factors, has outpaced the City’s ability to fund tax-supported services adequately. The Winnipeg Police Service’s budget currently represents over a quarter of the City’s annual operating budget; developing a sustainable funding model will help ensure the overall financial health of our city.
Residents can provide input by completing an online survey, available until February 2; participating in a telephone town hall on Tuesday, January 25 at 7 p.m. – 8 p.m., or registering to participate at one of five community events.
Input gathered will help inform recommendations for Council’s consideration in March 2022.
