The municipal budget is a crucial policy and planning document that highlights our municipality’s priorities for services, programs, and infrastructure. Crafting the budget involves balancing often competing priorities: delivering the high level of services that residents expect and deserve, while also considering what is financially feasible.

Each year, municipal staff present a draft preliminary budget for public feedback. This budget is divided into two parts: the operations budget, which covers the municipality’s day-to-day services, and the capital budget, which funds large infrastructure and long-term projects. The Mayor and Council, with input from Loyalist Township residents and businesses, decide which municipal services, programs, and infrastructure projects will be included in the final budget.
