There will be a 10-14 day delay in the municipal budget process.

Budget chief Councillor Tanya Vrebosch says staff needs more time to compile information on all the requests that are coming in.

“We have a lot of one time asks. Right now, staff are struggling on what to bring forward and finding efficiencies that council can work with,” she says.

Vrebosch emphasizes the many requests for funds they’re getting.

“Creative Industries, The Dionne Quints home, Invest North Bay, the hospital, Cassellhome and the community centre,” Vrebosch says.

She says originally they were looking at wrapping up the budget by mid February but the new timeline is lare February or early March.
