Getting involved in the Town of Newmarket's 2024 budget process is as easy as stopping by the town booth at the Newmarket Farmers’ Market this Saturday, Oct. 21.
Town staff will be available to answer questions and share information about the budget, town services and future plans for the community. You can play a town trivia interactive game for a chance to win Choose Local gift cards for Newmarket businesses.
"The town continues to face significant budget pressures, including increased costs of goods and services, inflation and reduced revenues as a result of Bill 23," a Town of Newmarket news release stated. "The goal of the 2024 budget is to continue to find the balance between keeping municipal taxes as low as possible, while investing in our assets, planning for the future and maintaining the high level of services that make Newmarket a top place to live in Canada."
