investments. By addressing asset manage- ment deficits and continuing our financial plan for the Recreation Complex, Township is being proactive and planning for the long term,” said Leroux. “I commend the staff for their professionalism and dedication to our community. I wish to thank Council for being open-minded during budget discussions; we achieved a reasonable and balanced tax increase during challenging economic times while considering the priorities within our community for 2023.” More information on the budget is avai- lable on the Township website at https:// www.russell.ca/en/your-township/budget- and-finances.aspx. There will also be a live question and answer session on the Township Facebook and YouTube pages, where Mayor Leroux and the Township Treasurer will answer questions submitted by residents. Residents may email their questions to info@russell.ca ahead of time, or join the livestream and ask directly. The Q&A will start at 7 p.m. on April 6.
Russell Township has approved a 4 per cent tax increase in the 2023 budget. During the regular meeting on March 13, Russell Township council approved the 2023 budget, which included a 4 percent tax increase for the average residential home. For the Township’s average household assessment value of $348,000, this means a $65.79 tax increase in 2023. The 4 percent increase will result in a total estimated revenue of $637,510. Council has dedicated 1 percent of the tax hike to the new recreational complex, while another 2.5 percent will be invested directly into roads and infrastructure. In a letter sent out on March 16, Mayor Pierre Leroux said that improving roads has been the most requested budget item from residents every year. i8JUIUIJTCVEHFU XFJNQSPWFSPBET sidewalks, and pedestrian safety while increa- sing cultural, recreational and environmental
