The Township of Georgian Bluffs is conducting a community engagement initiative for the upcoming 2024 Budget, seeking input to help shape the allocation of resources and funding priorities for the next fiscal year.

The annual budget is a roadmap that guides the delivery of services, infrastructure, and programs that enrich the lives of our community members.

In order to ensure that the 2024 Budget accurately reflects the needs and priorities of the community, we aim to:

• Gather feedback on the Township’s current services and identify areas where adjustments may be needed.
• Understand where residents believe an increase or decrease in services is warranted.
• Uncover ideas for new services that could enhance the overall quality of life in the Township.

"Your insights will play an important role in shaping the path ahead for Georgian Bluffs while prioritizing the needs and wants of our residents," says Samantha Buchanan, Treasurer. "In collaboration, we will craft a budget that resonates with the community, propelling Georgian Bluffs towards a future that truly reflects our values.”

The 2024 Budget hub on Engage GB is your gateway to completing a short survey on the 2024 Budget, as well as finding news and updates on the budget process as it moves forward.

Paper copies of the survey can be found at the Township Administration building, Shallow Lake Community Center, Derby Community Center and Kemble Community Center.

For those who prefer face-to-face interaction, join us for “Engage GB: Connect and Collaborate”, an in-person public engagement session on Thursday, Aug. 24, from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Grey Roots Museum.

This session offers an opportunity to join fellow community members in sharing ideas and perspectives on budget priorities, as well as other Township initiatives. Your contributions will support the decisions that guide our community's growth and prosperity.
