Yes, and will maintain the current Participatory Budget process in Ward 1, while working to implement any changes brought forth by the Participatory Budget Advisory Committee (PBAC). |
| Greco, Tony |
Yes |
Yes. I definitely support this. I know how important citizen involvement is when making decisions that will affect us all. As Councillor, I will create a Ward 1 Community Council which will be consulted, and have input on a wide range of decision making, including local capital projects and spending priorities.

| Johnson, Aidan |
Yes |
Yes. I have served on Ward 1’s Participatory Budget committee, and all of its sub-committees. I would work to deepen the consultation process to determine how we should spend the ward’s $1.5 million budget.

| Rosen, Ira |
Yes |
Under the leadership of our present Councillor Ward 1 was the first to adopt this process and over the years the system has grown in popularity however the present system still needs to be more transparent. Any local resident who wants to assist with this process must be allowed the opportunity to participate to ensure that it does not appear to be only a special interest group.

| Shaw, Sandy |
Yes |
Yes, Ward One has had a proud history of active involvement in the participatory budgeting process. Residents have had their say and have advocated for many worthwhile projects and I plan to continue to support the process and listen to the residents. |
