The Bridgewater Town Council will hold a special meeting on March 16, 2026, to introduce the proposed budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year to residents in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. This meeting serves as an early opportunity for the community to see how the town plans to spend money and what the local priorities will be for the coming year.

The session is set to begin at 6:00 PM in the Council Chambers on the second floor of Town Hall, located at 60 Pleasant Street. While the council will present the entire budget, the primary focus of this specific meeting will be on the operational budget, which covers the day-to-day costs of running the town.

Official notice of the meeting was shared with the public on March 9, 2026, to ensure residents had time to prepare for the presentation. This step is part of the town’s process for financial transparency before any final decisions are made on spending.

Town officials use these meetings to outline municipal services and planned expenditures before the final approval process begins. Residents are encouraged to attend in person to review the documents and listen to the initial presentation from council members.
