Poirier to meet with provincial Finance Committee
2026 will be a very challenging year to create a municipal budget.
The City of Kenora has started the budgeting process, passing the capital budget at the end of 2025.
Mayor Andrew Poirier says he’s getting a chance to speak to the provincial Finance Committee about some of challenges they face.
“It’s not a lot of time (before the Finance Committee) but it does provide us with another avenue to provide some ideas and feedback and some issues we may be having in our community,” Poirier told city council at its Committee of the Whole meeting this week.
“That should be part of the budget process for 2026/2027.”
City council has yet to begin looking at the Operating Budget, wanting to get all the information, including the OPP costs for 2026, before finalizing the budget.
