This year represents the first year operating under the Strong Mayor, Building Homes Act, 2022 (Bill 3), and the corresponding budget powers and process.
In accordance with the new legislative framework, the Mayor’s budget was presented on November 17, 2025. Council was then provided with a 30-day period to bring forward motions to amend the budget as presented. During that period, Council passed one amendment on November 24, put forward by Councillor Wheeldon, requesting an additional allocation of $50,000 for implementing recommendations of the Brighton Homelessness Task Force to support public safety and community well-being. This amendment did not impact the presented budget or the municipal tax levy.
There was no veto by the Mayor, and therefore, in accordance with legislative requirements, the budget was deemed adopted on December 27, 2025.
