Thank You for Participating in Budget 2026 Engagement

The District would like to thank all residents who participated in the Budget 2026 process - both the more than 1,700 voices who contributed during Phase One consultation and those who attended the Phase Two Open House to learn more and engage in discussion. Your participation supports informed decision-making and helps shape the District’s financial planning.

The 2026–2030 Five-Year Financial Plan Bylaw No. 940, which received three readings on April 1, 2026, includes a proposed municipal tax increase of approximately $17.54 per month for the average single-family property. This investment supports the addition of four community safety personnel - two police officers and two firefighters - and retains a 2% contribution to the District’s Asset Management Program to support the maintenance and replacement of infrastructure.

The bylaw will be brought forward for consideration of adoption at the Regular Council meeting on Monday, April 13, 2026.
