Every year municipalities must determine the cost of services such as RCMP, Fire, parks, roads, recreation, etc.. These costs typically increase slightly each year due to factors like inflation, insurance, energy prices, growing service demands, and additional responsibilities legislated by higher-ranking governments.

Considering these factors and past trends, the Town creates a draft budget to determine the costs that are necessary to deliver on Council-approved service levels. Town Council then carefully reviews and debates budget items, working to keep taxes reasonable while maintaining services.

The Town is currently preparing for the 2026 budget. Let us know what matters to you!

Feedback received will be considered as part of the draft 2026 budget that Council will be considering in late 2025.

This survey will take approximately 5 – 10 minutes to complete and will be open until 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 7, 2025. This survey is anonymous and no personal information is collected.
