Have a Say in Shaping Your Community’s Future!

CENTRE WELLINGTON – Your voice matters, and now is the time to have a say!  Each year, residents are encouraged to participate in the Township’s annual budgeting process.  Our residents’ input is crucial as we work together to create a budget that reflects the priorities and values of our community.  The 2026 Budget Engagement Survey is now open for input to shape next year’s budget. 

“As staff work on the 2026 budget, Council remains committed to transparency and community involvement,” said Mayor Watters. “We want to ensure the budget reflects the priorities of our residents. Their input is vital in helping us make informed decisions that responsibly manage tax dollars while supporting essential services and future growth.” 

Your experience living in Centre Wellington matters – and Township staff want to know how our services and program delivery make a difference in your life. Our online engagement survey will allow residents to share their feedback directly with Township staff. The budget survey on Connect CW will be open until October 31^st.   Feedback will be shared with Council to inform their decision-making throughout budget deliberations.

Anyone wishing to ask questions or share feedback in person can do so at the Key Township Open House on Tuesday, October 21, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the CW Community Sportsplex, where staff will be available.
