2023 Budget Survey

This survey is being conducted to encourage dialogue with our residents as we begin our 2023 budget process. As part of our customer service strategy, our team works hard to provide opportunities for residents to provide their input on various Town topics. We hope that this survey enables you to share your thoughts with us on financial matters and budget priorities for the Town of Penetanguishene.

This Survey is anticipated to close on Monday, May 30, 2022, and a summary of the results will be presented to Council in June 2022 and at our 2023 Budget Public Consultation to be held in December 2022. 

Thank you for participating in our 2023 Budget Survey.  Your comments are greatly appreciated.  For questions about this survey, please contact the undersigned at 705-549-7453 ext 210 or crobillard@penetanguishene.ca.
