2027 Budget

2027 Budget Survey

This survey is being conducted to encourage dialogue with Penetanguishene residents, as the Town begins the 2027 budget process. As part of the Town’s customer service strategy, the Town works hard to provide opportunities for residents to provide input on various topics. The survey is to enable residents to share comments with Council and Staff on financial matters and budget priorities for the Town of Penetanguishene.

The Survey will close on Friday, October 16, 2026, and a summary of the results will be presented at the first Special Committee of the Whole Budget Meeting being held on Wednesday, December 9, 2026 at 2:00 pm in Council Chambers.

Thank you for participating in the Town's 2027 Budget Survey. All comments are greatly appreciated and will be shared with Council and the Senior Management Team and will be published on the December 9, 2026 meeting agenda.
