The Town of Perth is encouraging residents to take part in shaping the 2026 municipal budget through a new online survey and in-person engagement sessions called Coffee with Nev.
The 2026 Budget Survey, open until October 19 at Engage.Perth.ca, asks residents to share their views on town services, spending priorities, and potential changes to tax levels.
For those who prefer face-to-face conversations, Coffee with Nev sessions offer residents a chance to meet one-on-one with Treasurer Nev Jande for a 15-minute chat about the budget.
“We know the budget can feel complex, but it affects every part of daily life — from roads and recreation to fire services and community events,” said CAO Michael Touw. “These opportunities give residents a chance to learn, ask questions, and tell us what matters most.”
Both the survey and sessions reflect the Town’s ongoing commitment to open, transparent budgeting and meaningful community input.
