Our budget is the financial expression of the priorities of our organization. Respect for the taxpayer is of major importance in budget development for the County of Frontenac. Your input is welcome and is critically important to the budgeting process.

You will also find key dates, most notably the public meeting scheduled for September 15. Mark your calendars; that's your chance to present your budget ideas directly to Frontenac County Council.

Below you will find a set of tools you can use to engage with neighbours, county councillors, and Frontenac County staff on matters related to the 2022 Frontenac County budget. Participate in an online discussion. Share your ideas. Ask questions. It will all be submitted for consideration in Council budget deliberations.

This budget relates only to work overseen by Frontenac County Council:

1. Frontenac Paramedics (Visit: Frontenac Paramedics a Plan for the Future)
2. Fairmount Home (Visit: Engaging with Fairmount Home)
3. Planning and Development
4. Economic Development (including the Frontenac K&P Trail) (Visit: Frontenac K&P Trail Development Plan)

Our budget is based on the following principles:

• Transparency: business plans, budget planning and budgets are discussed and approved in open meetings of County Council except as permitted by the Municipal Act
• Fiduciary responsibility: Council and staff develop and approve budgets that balance the short and long-term needs of the County and our citizens. This difficult balance requires that we use best estimates, likely scenarios and evaluate risk.
