The Rural Municipality of Dauphin has officially invited residents to share their thoughts on the upcoming 2026 financial plan. The hearing, scheduled for Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at 10:30 a.m., is a key opportunity for the community to provide input on budget priorities for the year ahead.
According to The Municipal Act in Manitoba, local governments are required to hold public hearings for their annual financial plans between January and April 30. The process must conclude with the formal adoption of the budget by May 15. This hearing allows the local council, led by Reeve Ernie Sirski, to present its proposed spending on essential services such as road maintenance, snow plowing, and water utility operations.
The Rural Municipality of Dauphin serves a population of over 2,000 residents across the Parkland Region. Municipal operations are managed by a council that includes Deputy Reeve Tammy Koshowski and councillors Todd Boguski, Midge Sametz, Ron Ryz, Ken Shewchuk, and Ken Plustwa. In previous years, the municipality has focused on balancing service delivery with manageable cost increases, including a two per cent increase to municipal requirements in the 2025 budget.
Residents interested in learning more about how municipal funds are allocated are encouraged to review the proposed plans. Detailed information and updates regarding the hearing are available through the municipal office located on Highway 20A East.
