The draft multi-year budget will be turned over to the council to decide how to move forward with it.
Public consultations will take place on Chatham-Kent’s Facebook live feed on Wednesday, November 22 from 12-1 p.m., and again on Thursday, November 23 from 7-8 p.m.
The first budget deliberation is set for Tuesday, November 28 at 6 p.m.
