Last Chance: Vote for Participatory Budgeting Proposals
This Sunday will be your last chance to cast your vote for community projects to receive funding.
April 7 will be the last day of voting for community projects to receive up to $1 million in funding through participatory budgeting.
The process involves allowing members of the community to decide how to spend capital discretionary funding.
Anyone who is 16 years of age will be able to cast their vote. The winning projects will be included in next year's budget.
