We’re kicking off a special series of episodes focused on our 2025 budget process. Helping us understand what goes into crafting a municipal budget is Anka Vuksan Scott, manager of budgets and financial services/deputy treasurer.
What’s a municipal budget? How will this year’s budget be developed? Anka’s got the answers for these important questions, and we’re just getting started. She also sets us up for upcoming discussions around operating and capital budgets, the City’s nine-year financial forecast, and our asset management plan.
Public engagement is absolutely essential for making sure the budget reflects Welland’s needs, so all residents are encouraged to share the feedback that’ll shape the priorities and decisions.
Learning about the budget and getting involved starts by listening here and visiting www.engagewelland.ca/2025budget.
You can catch all past episodes and leave us comments at www.welland.ca/podcast/

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
