Village of Burns Lake opens budget survey to residents

The Village of Burns Lake is looking for feedback from residents to help shape this year’s budget.

The survey was launched yesterday (Wednesday) giving residential and commercial tax payers a change to say where they would like their tax dollars used in the community.

“We use the feedback to help us inform council and provide direction to staff,” said Chief Administrative Officer Ryan Nitchie.

Some of the main questions included on the survey include:

  • What community issues are important
  • What services and programs are important and should improve
  • How much property taxes should change

The survey will remain open until January 30th and can be found here.
