Some services in Smiths Falls to see fee increases

Smiths Falls staff proposed new fees and charges for various municipal services, and increases are mostly seen across the board.

They’re the first look at increases since 2019, when they deferred the process due to the pandemic.

Parking fees and recreational facility rentals are staying the same.

But planning applications, garbage and recycling fees, childhood development centre, and arena rentals are all areas seeing a bump.

These changes still need to be approved by council and are subject to change.

The entire list of proposed changes can be found under Monday night’s Committee of the Whole agenda, which can be accessed by tapping or clicking this line of text.
