       Background Study

      In 2022, the Township retained Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. to complete a review of the Township’s user fees to determine the full cost of services provided and recommend a fee structure that would balance the Township’s cost recovery and decrease the tax burden while also considering affordability and competitiveness of the market.
