The Regional District of Naniamo is looking to residents to help inform its priorities for spending. A survey is available on the RDN’s website until July 8 that will help to inform the district’s 2026-2030 financial plan.
“The RDN provides many valuable services to residents that are paid for either fully or in part by taxes such as parks, recreation, drinking water, wastewater treatment and transit,” reads a news release from the RDN. “Public input is an important part of the financial planning process and provides an opportunity for the board of directors to hear from residents about their budget priorities.”
The RDN has background information and tools on its website to help inform residents on the budgeting process.
There is also a chance to have questions answered by the district’s financial department, which will be posted online to help others gain insight into the process.
Hard copies of the survey are also available by request for residents who may not have access to internet.
A preliminary financial plan will be presented to the RDN board of directors at the November and December meetings this year.
