What Happens with Your Input
Citizen input on the 2026 Town of Ponoka Annual Budget will be collected and presented to Town Council for careful review and consideration during the 2026 Budget deliberation process. The Citizen Input Survey results are also carefully reviewed by Town Administration before preparing the 2026 Draft Budget documents for Council review and deliberations.
Town Council budget deliberations will be held on November 26, 27 and 28 in Council Chambers on the third floor of the Ponoka Civic Centre. Budget deliberations are open to the public. A summary of the citizen input received will also be shared with the public here on LetsTalkPonoka.ca later in the fall.
