PB 2025/2026: Share Your Ideas, Avondale!
The Participatory Budgeting Idea Collection will take place through both in-person events and online submissions via our community engagement portal- Willowdaleactionhub.ca. To increase the likelihood of your project idea moving forward in the PB process, we encourage you to take ownership of your idea by becoming an in-person Project Champion. When submitting your idea online, please indicate your willingness to serve as a Project Champion in the comment section to ensure your idea has a better chance to be considered in the PB process.
Who is a PROJECT CHAMPION? A Project Champion is a participant who submits an idea through the Participatory Budgeting (PB) process and collaborates closely with Councillor Cheng's staff to turn their idea into reality from start to finish. One of the key responsibilities of a Project Champion is to mobilize their idea in the community to gather maximum support.
You will need to SIGN UP on www.willowdaleactionhub.ca to submit your IDEA in the 'Share Your Ideas Avondale' folder.
IMPORTANT: Please mention in the description of your IDEA- " I will be the Project Champion for this idea"
