What's In The 2026 City Budget?
Pic Credit: TemiskamingShores.ca
The City of Temiskaming Shores has released its 2026 Budget at a Glance, outlining where tax dollars will be spent and the priorities guiding investment over the coming year.
The budget includes a 3.5% tax levy increase, with City officials saying the plan balances maintaining services today while preparing for future infrastructure needs. The City also notes there will be no new debt for 2026 capital projects, with many major projects supported through grants, partnerships and donations.
Among the priorities are continued investments in roads, bridges, water and sewer infrastructure, parks and recreation facilities, environmental services, and public safety. The budget also sets aside funding to build reserves for future projects and help reduce long-term financial risk.
The City's total 2026 budget is $32.8 million, with municipal services, including public works, fire services, roads, recreation and administration, accounting for the largest share of spending.
Residents interested in exploring the budget in more detail can view the full 2026 Budget at a Glance on the City's website.
