Nanaimo residents will have a chance to weigh in on the city’s 2026 draft financial plan during an eTown Hall next week.
The plan projects a 7.1 per cent municipal tax increase in 2026 — roughly $218 for the average home — according to city documents.
The meeting will take place during the council session on Monday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m., when council will review the financial plan.
Mayor Leonard Krog said this is a good opportunity for citizens to learn about the budget and share their priorities. “I encourage Nanaimo citizens to explore the budget documents and submit your questions — we want to hear from you,” he said.
Residents can submit questions ahead of time via the city website, or during the meeting, using the hashtag #NanaimoTH on Instagram, Bluesky or X.
They can also call the city at 250-754-4251 during business hours.
