The annual budget is a document which serves as the financial plan, operational guide and communication tool for Council, staff, and the public. It is a strategic planning document which provides for the allocation of resources to achieve the corporate and strategic goals and objectives by providing services and infrastructure.

This 2024 Budget survey's goal is to seek feedback on the Township’s current services being provided, identify where residents feel an increase/decrease to current services may be warranted, or identify any new services residents wish to see the Township provide.

    Why do we have to pay for bag tags? Shouldn't that just be covered by my taxes?

    Firewords asked over 1 year ago

    Depending on the Municipality, waste pickup and disposal may be paid either through property taxes, bag tags, or a combination of the two (as is the case in Georgian Bluffs). When you pay through your property taxes, every household pays the same regardless of how much waste they generate. So a small household that works hard to recycle is paying the same as a large household that doesn't recycle at all. With Bag Tags, there is a more fair distribution of cost, where households that produce more garbage pay more, and there is an incentive to reduce waste through recycling and compost to save money. At $2.25 our bag tags still do not cover the full cost of waste pickup, so there is still a portion covered by property taxes.
