Residents in Richer, located within the Rural Municipality of Ste. Anne, Manitoba, are invited to attend an upcoming meeting to review the community’s proposed budget for 2026. This meeting allows households to see how their tax dollars will be spent on local services like road maintenance and parks.
The local committee will present the financial plan, which details the spending priorities for the coming year. This event gives people a chance to ask questions and share their thoughts before the final budget is approved by the municipal council.
Committee chair John Lenton and councillor Patrick Stolwyk lead the group that manages these neighborhood services. The district has been managing a surplus of $106,736 from the 2023-2024 budget cycle, which was previously placed into a reserve fund for future needs.
While the exact date for the budget presentation is still being finalized, the committee most recently met on February 4, 2026, at the Richer Young at Hearts Club. Residents are encouraged to watch municipal notices for the time and location of the next meeting.
In other local news, garbage collection has been moved to Friday, February 20, 2026, for the Richer area. This change is because of the Louis Riel Day holiday earlier in the week.
