The meetings will offer an opportunity for interested members of the public to speak directly with the regional district’s financial services manager and board of directors about the proposed five year financial plan, which will determine the CSRD’s spending for 2020-2024.

The public will be able to ask questions or provide their opinion about any of the CSRD’s projects, programs or tax spending.

A copy of the draft financial documents which the CSRD board will be considering is available to the public online.
