The mayor's inner circle will meet Nov. 22 to table the document. Part of the planning process will include five public consultations.
“Over the next few months, I will be listening to the priorities of Winnipeggers and working with all members of Council and our Corporate Finance team to find a path to balance the 2017 budget,” said Councillor Morantz, chair of the city’s finance committee.
