Budget

The Town of Sidney aims to balance the provision of high quality services with affordable taxes for residents and businesses. Since the needs and wants within the municipality are often greater than what the municipality and community can afford at one time, choices must be made.

Current and previous financial plans can be found below. The plans are developed on an annual basis and look ahead to the next five years, as required by the Community Charter.
