The Brandon City Council is inviting the community to a public hearing on April 7, 2026, to discuss the city’s financial plan for the year in Brandon, Manitoba. The session will take place at 7 p.m. in the Council Chamber at City Hall, located on the second floor at 410-9th Street.

This meeting provides an opportunity for residents to share their views on the 2026 Financial Plan, which outlines how the city will spend money and manage its tax rates. People attending the hearing can ask questions about municipal services and how the city plans to use its savings accounts, known as reserve funds.

The hearing is being held as a legal requirement under the provincial Municipal Act. This process ensures that the public can review and comment on the city’s fiscal strategy before the final budget is officially adopted for the year.

The Brandon City Council previously issued a notice on January 31, 2026, stating the budget was approved. This upcoming hearing is a separate, formal step that allows for transparency and public input on the final version of the city’s financial roadmap.

Citizens can contact the City Clerk’s Office if they need to see a copy of the draft plan or if they want to know how to participate in the meeting. This session is a key moment for residents to engage with local leaders about the city’s spending priorities.
