No questions will go unanswered, a town statement said.

Town Hall Tonight is one of the ways the town is trying to engage the public.

For example, residents are being asked to give their opinions on how they want their tax dollars invested in next year’s budget.

The town’s portion of the property tax bill is 39 per cent, with the region taking 41 per cent and the school boards taking the remaining 20 per cent.

Town Hall Tonight, at the Old Town Hall at 460 Botsford St., kicks off with a reception at 6 p.m. where you can talk with councillors and town staff, followed by a presentation and question-and-answer session led by Taylor
