Hawkesbury - The administration, in collaboration with the Municipal Council of Hawkesbury, has recently concluded the budget review process. This decision stems from a pragmatic approach aimed at mitigating the financial impact on the community, while maintaining the quality of municipal services.

Faced with significant budgetary pressures this year, the municipal administration conducted a thorough review of its expenses. Discussions took place during the budget sessions on November 15 and 30, during which the Municipal Council and the administration worked together to find balanced solutions.

For 2024, the administration has adopted an approach to maintain services, while preserving the efficiency of services to citizens. This proactive step aims to limit the financial impact on Hawkesbury residents, with a tax rate increase of 4.75%, resulting in an average increase of less than $100 per year, per residence.

The final decision will be put to a vote during the Municipal Council meeting, scheduled December 11th.

Service Line Warranty Canada (SLWC) Fall Campaign Offer concerning water and sewer protection plan. 

Back in September 2022, the Town partnered with SLWC to offer Hawkesbury homeowners protection plans to help cover the potentially expensive repair costs associated with their portion of water and sewer service lines. These plans, offered by SWLC, are used by over 1000 cities, municipalities, and utilities across North America, including over 70 in Ontario.

The Town of Hawkesbury is letting homeowners know that they may receive a reminder letter regarding these protection plans in the upcoming weeks from SLWC. The letter will again include the Town’s logo to assure that this offering is legitimate.

Please note that participation is optional and voluntary for homeowners in Hawkesbury and that it is not a Town program. Please visit www.slwofc.ca for frequently asked questions and links to additional information.
