Financial Planning for 2026. Your tax dollars, Your priorities

The Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) is kicking off its financial planning process for 2026, and we want to hear from you! What services matter most to you? Where do you think investment is needed? Your input will help guide decisions that can shape the future of our communities.   

To help provide your input, the SCRD is launching a short questionnaire. The questionnaire shouldn’t take longer than five minutes to answer and, as a thank you for taking this time to provide your input, you can enter a draw for a gift card from a local Sunshine Coast business. The questionnaire will remain open until late November.  

Your answers will help inform the SCRD Board as they begin the Financial Planning process for 2026. The first meetings take place in late October, followed by Round 1 Budget meetings in December and Round 2 Budget meetings in February.  

For more information visit letstalk.scrd.ca/budget. On this page you can also ask questions and post your priorities for this year’s financial planning process.  

Later this year, the SCRD will host an open house with residents to discuss your priorities in person, stay tuned for more details.
