2019 Municipal Budget - Your Budget, Your Say

Each year, the Town of Georgina passes a budget to determine how funds will be spent. Council discusses the draft budget and listens to resident input during a series of meetings. Residents are also encouraged to send their questions or comments to budget@georgina.ca.

Once again this year, the Town is asking how your tax dollars should be spent.
