How is my tax money spent?

Council sets out priorities for service and program delivery and infrastructure rehabilitation/replacement projects in an annual operating and capital budget and tax dollars are spent on those items. Some of the priorities include fire protection, road maintenance and repair, parks, facilities, programs, libraries, municipal law enforcement, and much more. A portion of the taxes collected are also set aside into reserves (savings accounts) for future use to fund infrastructure rehabilitation/replacement projects as set out in the Township’s 10-year Capital forecast.
