Every year, the UNA conducts consultations about its draft budget. UNA residents are invited to send their feedback, and a Budget Consultation Open House will be held on January 29, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at the Wesbrook Community Centre where UNA staff and Board members will be available to answer questions.
The feedback received is provided to the UNA’s Finance and Audit Committee for review and then to the UNA Board of Directors to consider before they approve the budget.
