Ottawa opens public budget tracker before spring committee vote
Location
Ottawa City Hall
110 Laurier Avenue West
A new public dashboard gives residents a clearer way to follow budget commitments, committee decisions, and verified updates before council takes its next vote.

Ottawa's civic innovation team has opened a public budget tracker that gathers committee notes, project timelines, and source documents in one place.

The tracker is meant to help residents and reporters see what changed, who confirmed it, and which decisions still need follow-up before council votes later this spring.

Editors are using the project as a test case for source-backed explainers that can be updated without losing the original evidence trail.
