About the Municipal Budget

The municipal budget serves as a vital tool for setting the Township of Tyendinaga’s priorities for programs, services, and infrastructure development. Preparing the budget requires finding a balance between meeting the community’s expectations for quality services and maintaining fiscal responsibility.

Each year, Township staff develop a preliminary draft budget to gather feedback from the public. This budget is split into two key components: the operating budget, which funds daily municipal services, and the capital budget, which supports major infrastructure and long-term projects. The Mayor and Council, guided by input from Tyendinaga residents and local businesses, make the final decisions on which programs, services, and infrastructure initiatives will be included in the approved budget.
