South Frontenac Township Open Survey for 2027 Budget

South Frontenac Township has started to prepare their 2027 budget and is asking residents to take a short survey to share their input. Residents can take the short survey at surveymonkey.com/r/SF2027budget by December 10, 2026. 

“The budget survey is an important opportunity for residents to share their priorities for South Frontenac’s future,” says Stephanie Kuca, Director of Finance and Treasurer. “We encourage everyone in our growing community to take part and let us know which Township services, projects, and events matter most to them. Your input will help inform decisions that support a strong and vibrant South Frontenac.”

The survey will ask residents whether they would like to see a reasonable increase to enhance services, increase taxes only enough to maintain current services, or keep municipal taxes as low as possible, even if this means reducing, changing, or delaying some Township services, programs, and infrastructure projects. The Township’s 2026 budget resulted in a tax increase of 3.52%, an average household increase of $64.80 a year. The 2025 budget increase was approved at 4.41%.

As with last year’s survey, the Township requests residents to provide information about the number of people in their household, and the ages of the people within the household. This will help the Township compare the answers of residents of different age groups, and with and without children in the home. Answers will create a more detailed picture of the needs of our community.  

“The voices of our residents is well valued information to help council make budget decisions and plan for South Frontenac’s future,” says Mayor Ron Vandewal. “The results from this survey paint a clear picture of where our residents want to see their tax dollars used in our community. We value the feedback.”

Residents can learn more and sign up to receive updates on this year’s budget process on the EngageFrontenac.ca project page.
