Budget
The capital and operating budgets are the Township's financial plan, expressed in dollars. The budget is the culmination of ongoing engagement on public priorities throughout the year with master plans, public meetings, online engagement, and informal feedback.
The budget is prepared taking into consideration both this community input and direction from Council.

What is an operating budget?
The operating budget provides funds for the day to day operations of the Township.
What is a capital budget and forecast?
The Capital Budget and forecast allow us to plan for upcoming years. They help us identify how to pay for infrastructure projects such as road reconstruction, facilities, park improvements, and public buildings.
We use a number of funding sources to carry out capital projects, although property tax funding is the most common. Existing infrastructure like roads, bridges, sidewalks, and recreational facilities continue to age and require capital spending for renewal and replacement.
