The Bridgewater Town Council will hold a public meeting on March 16, 2026, to introduce the town’s budget for the 2026-2027 year. The session will take place in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, and will give residents their first look at the financial plan that determines local tax rates and funding for essential services like road repairs and police work.
The meeting will begin at 6:00 PM in the Council Chambers on the second floor of Town Hall, located at 60 Pleasant Street. According to the official notice of the special council meeting, the presentation will provide a full view of the town’s finances but will focus heavily on the operational budget, which covers the day-to-day costs of running the community and its departments.
Led by Mayor David Mitchell and six councillors, the Town of Bridgewater uses these annual plans to set priorities for community development. The current council members were elected in October 2024 and are responsible for balancing the needs of the town with the available tax dollars.
Local residents and business owners often attend these sessions to understand how their tax money will be spent over the next 12 months. This meeting serves as the official start of the formal review process before the final budget is approved for the upcoming year.
