The budget was again front and center at this week's town council meeting.

Mayor Andre Murphy spoke about work being done as the mill rate will increase by 3 percent while the town's mill rate will only increase by 2 percent, lessening the impact on taxpayers.

The town and council will also meet with the finance minister tomorrow regarding the challenges the north faces and how an escalation to the sustainable provincial grant funding can help.

There will be a budget hearing on April 17th ahead of the regular town council meeting, where the proposed financial plan for 2024 will be presented.

The next town council meeting will take place on March 11th.
