When Pembroke's budget is decided

The budget sets what the city spends and how much property tax goes up. These are the dates it is released, discussed and voted on, and how you can take part. Free for everyone.

Pembroke's Engage Pembroke page for the 2027 budget says staff prepare budgets in August and September 2026, they are reviewed with the CAO, Treasurer and Committee Chairs in October and November, a public budget meeting is held on December 1, 2026 and Council deliberates on December 14, December 16 and January 26, 2027. The page says the budget is deemed adopted by Council in February 2027. The Mayor has strong-mayor powers, which the City says include proposing the budget. The page does not say how the October 26, 2026 election affects these dates.

Everything here comes from the City's Engage Pembroke 2027 budget page, read on October 5, 2026. The page says the survey runs from October 02, 2026 to November 01, 2026. We did not read the meeting portal, which blocked a script download, so we have not seen agendas for these meetings.
