Deadline

Online public input on Coldstream financial plan due by Friday

Jan 23, 2026 | 9:18 AM

Coldstream residents wishing to have their say on how the municipality spends its money have just a short period of time remaining to provide input online.

The District of Coldstream will stop taking public input on the draft 2026-2030 Financial Plan at 12 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23.

People wishing to have their say in the matter can do so through the municipality’s website, or by dropping off a physical comment form at the district’s office.

Though the online submissions will close Friday, residents will have one final opportunity to present their input about the budget plan to council in person at the council meeting Monday, Jan. 26.

The district’s plan calls for a tax increase of 8.72 per cent in 2026, which would equate to an annual increase of $154.58 for an average single family residence.
