MANITOULIN—Manitoulin municipalities which are members of the Manitoulin Planning Board (MPB) will see a small increase in their requisitions for this year’s budget. At a meeting last week, the MPB moved some of the surplus funds from the previous years budget towards keeping the budget increase to two percent.

“The municipalities shouldn’t be too upset with the budget this year,” said board chair Lee Hayden.

The MPB budget committee had recommended applying a portion of the MPB budget surplus from the previous year to the 2023 budget,” said Jake Diebolt, GIS Technician. “The requisition increase to municipalities would be limited to a two percent increase.”
