It's that time of year again, budget time.
Municipal councils are getting together and going over next year's plans and determining just how much it's going to cost taxpayers.
In High River Mayor Craig Snodgrass says they're still very early in the process.
"Everybody's working as hard as we can to try to get this done before the end of the year, but I'm never worried about rushing a budget," he says. "I'd rather make sure the budget's done properly rather than rushing it to make sure it's done by Christmas."
In past years council passed an interim budget to get them into the new year and then worked out the details early in the new year.
The 2023 budget saw a 2.2 per cent increase on average.
It was passed in late February.In response to Canada's Online News Act and Meta (Facebook and Instagram) removing access to local news from their platforms, HighRiverOnline and OkotoksOnline encourage you to get your news directly from your trusted source by bookmarking this page and downloading the HighRiverOnline or OkotoksOnline app.
