The Summerside City Council will hold a special meeting on March 12, 2026, to present its 2026-27 annual budget to the community in Summerside, Prince Edward Island. The presentation starts at 12:00 PM and will show how the city plans to spend money on both daily operations and long-term construction projects.

Mayor Dan Kutcher and the council are responsible for reviewing and approving this financial plan, which sets local property tax rates and service levels. In recent years, the city has focused on managing population growth and investing in new infrastructure to support the community.

The meeting is open to the public, and residents can also watch the presentation through the city’s official YouTube channel. Meeting documents and information packages are typically made available on the city website in the days leading up to council meetings.

This budget will decide how the city pays for essential services like police, fire protection, and recreation. Residents and local business owners will see how the city plans to balance these costs while managing its own electric utility, Summerside Electric.
