Statement of Purpose
On June 8, 2015, under the recommendation of the Ad Hoc Budget Review Committee, City Council approved the establishment of a Budget Standing Committee. This committee was originally structured as a three year pilot project, however, the Committee has since continued their work and remains a key component of the budget process.
The Budget Standing Committee works on behalf of City Council to address high level strategic budget and policy decisions. The Committee will provide financial guidance and oversight from a broad perspective to assist and improve upon the City's budget process, as well as short, medium and long-term financial planning.
Note: At is meeting of October 5, 2020, City Council approved a motion to suspend the Budget Standing Committee until the 2021 Operating and Capital Budgets are approved by City Council and for the General Committee to consider any items that would otherwise be reviewed by the Budget Standing Committee.

Membership List:
- Councillor Mat Siscoe - Chair

Reporting Structure
At the Budget Standing Committee meeting of January 7, 2019, Councillor Mat Siscoe was appointed as the Committee Chair and Councillor Lori Littleton was appointed as Vice Chair for the four-year term of Council.
