The Town of Sidney Council held a special meeting in Sidney, British Columbia, on March 3, 2026, to review the upcoming budget and decide on service spending and tax rates for the year.
During the session held at 6:00 p.m., officials looked at the budget to balance the costs of running the town with the needs of the community. These discussions are used to set the final property tax rates that residents will see on their bills later this year.
Under provincial law, the town is required to create and approve a Five-Year Financial Plan every year. This plan outlines where money will be spent on things like road repairs, parks, and emergency services over the next several years.
Residents can find more details about the proposed spending by checking the Public Notices on the town website. Reviewing these documents helps neighbors understand how their tax dollars are being used to support local programs and infrastructure.
