Budget

Completed annually, the Township's budget outlines the amount of money the municipality needs to deliver day-to-day services, fund major projects and save for the future. 

2026 Budget

Mayor Natasha Salonen has tabled Wilmot Township’s 2026 budget as part of her strong mayor responsibilities. Under the Strong Mayors, Building Homes Act, the head of Council is required to propose a municipal budget each year by February 1.

Developed in close collaboration with Council, staff, and financial experts from KPMG, the evidence-based budget represents a sustainable and responsible path forward that supports the services residents rely on and invests in the people who deliver them.
