Town of Milton Wants Resident Input on the 2027 Budget

The Town of Milton is asking residents, businesses and community groups to weigh in on what matters most to them as officials begin shaping the 2027 municipal budget.

What Happened

According to the Town of Milton, a new public engagement campaign has launched to gather resident input ahead of the 2027 Capital and Operating Budget process. The budget funds municipal programs, services, infrastructure projects and community investments across town.

The Town says community members can share their priorities through Let's Talk Milton, its online engagement platform, as well as through in-person community engagement activities and other feedback channels.

Key Details

• Feedback submitted by August 21 will be included in a Budget Call Report presented to council on September 14, which outlines anticipated budget pressures for the coming year.

• Input received after August 21 will still be shared with council before it considers the final budget in January.

• Residents can participate through the Let's Talk Milton platform or other Town-run engagement activities.

• The 2027 budget will fund core municipal services along with capital infrastructure projects.

Community Impact

Municipal budgets shape everything from road and transit funding to recreation programs and emergency services, so early input from residents can influence which priorities council weighs most heavily. The Town's engagement window gives Milton residents a direct way to flag the services and investments they consider most important before council begins formal budget deliberations.

Background

The Town of Milton's most recent budget, finalized in December 2025 for the 2026 year, included $125.8 million in capital projects and $236.1 million in operating funds.
