2026 Budget to be tabled November 3, Public Invited to Share Comments

HALTON HILLS, ON – The 2026 Budget will be released on Monday, November 3 on the Town’s engagement platform letstalkhaltonhills.ca. Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to visit the site for comprehensive information about the proposed 2026 Budget, including opportunities to provide feedback.

“This is a no-frills budget,” said Mayor Ann Lawlor “It will allow urgent repairs and maintenance of high priority roads and bridges. Essential services such as our Fire Department are being supported. We are responding to high demand services such as building permits and swimming lessons which are offset by user fees. The budget reflects community needs while remaining fiscally responsible with a target of 3.5% tax increase for the local, Town portion of the total property tax.”
