Budget & Financials

Budget

The Township provides programs and services to residents based on an annual Operating and Capital budget.

Understanding the Budget Process under Strong Mayor Powers

As part of our commitment to transparency and accountability, we want to share how the Township's annual budget is developed - especially in light of changes  introduced through Strong Mayor powers granted by the Province of Ontario.

Under this framework, the Mayor has a duty to prepare and propose the draft municipal budget.  This approach aims to streamline decision-making and ensure alignment with Township priorities and the broader provincial agenda. 

Your input remains a vital part of the process.  Community feedback helps shape priorities and informs the Mayor's proposed budget before it is presented to Council.  Council then reviews and can make amendments to the budget.

We encourage residents to participate in our budget engagement activities and have their say in shaping the services and initiatives that matter most.
