The municipality is hosting two public budget meetings on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 at the Jasper Activity Centre.
The first meeting will hear from the director of operations, the director of culture and recreation and the director of the Jasper Municipal Library.
The Dec. 1 meeting will have presentations from Jasper Victim Services, as well as the directors of community and family services, protective services and finance and administration.
The meetings start at 7 p.m. and everyone is welcome.
Council will make a decision about the proposed budget on Dec. 15, however, it’s likely it will only approve an interim budget in order to wait for the year-end numbers to come in before it makes a final decision.

The film was shot in nine countries over the course of four years and had its world premiere at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.
The film presents seven powerful stories about communities on the frontlines of fossil fuel extraction and climate change, from Montana’s Powder River Basin to the Alberta tar sands.
The event is being hosted by the Council of Canadians, a social action group, and begins at 6:30 p.m. For those looking for a ride from Jasper, contact Art Jackson at 780-852-3276.
