The City of Kamloops will host a public meeting on the 2023 budget on Wednesday, Feb. 15, at the Sports Centre Lounge inside the McArthur Island Sports Centre from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The city’s provisional budget for 2023 has this year’s tax increase set at 4.96 per cent in order to make up a $6.3-million gap to fund service levels to the same point they were in 2022, according to the municipality.

According to the city, high inflation, more competition for employees and supply chain issues have all contributed to the funding gap in the provisional budget. Costs to increase RCMP officers over time, decided by the previous council last year, is another factor.
