Winnipeggers will find out Tuesday how much their taxes will go up and if services will be impacted for the upcoming year.
Mayor Brian Bowman and his executive policy team are set to unveil the 2015 city budget.
The Mayor has cautioned there will be some unpopular decisions contained in the document.
Finance Chair Marty Morantz says the city faces a $79-million shortfall and by law the city can’t run a deficit.
Earlier this month, word of cuts to wading pools and recreation centres was quickly dismissed by Bowman.
But Morantz has hinted under-used programs could face the chopping block to help fund others.
The other tough decision facing the city is how to fund the next phase of rapid transit.
Councillor Jenny Gerbasi says she would favour a new levy to pay for it but only if it applied to all drivers and bus riders.
On property taxes, Bowman campaigned on a pledge not to raise them above the rate of inflation.
Under former mayor Sam Katz, the administration initiated an annual two per cent increase to fix roads.
