Timeline and Process

The Township's annual budget is more than just numbers—it's a plan for delivering the programs, services, and infrastructure that support our community.

Each year, staff review the Township's operating needs, planned capital projects, available funding, and long-term financial goals to prepare a draft budget. The draft budget is presented to Council for review and discussion during public meetings, where residents are welcome to attend, learn more about the budget, and share their feedback.

Council carefully considers community needs, service levels, and financial sustainability before approving the final budget. Once adopted, the budget guides how the Township invests in services and infrastructure throughout the year, helping ensure tax dollars are spent responsibly and transparently.
