The provincial government is set to host several town halls across Manitoba, giving the public a chance to provide input on the 2026 budget.
Finance Minister Adrien Sala is scheduled to hold Brandon’s public meeting at The Backyard on Aberdeen at 6 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 13.
Town halls will also be held in Winnipeg on Feb. 10, Flin Flon on Feb. 19 and Gimli on Feb. 26. There will be two telephone town halls — one on Feb. 11 and another on Feb. 17.
Participants have to create an Engage Manitoba account to register for the meeting they plan to attend. Engage Manitoba is a public engagement platform for the provincial government.
Specific details on the other meetings, including time and specific location, can be found at engagemb.ca/budget-2026.
The province has also invited Manitobans to share their priorities for this year’s budget through an online survey, which is open until Feb. 28.
The survey, which also requires people to create an account on the government’s website, includes questions about how important specific priorities — such as health care, cost of living and climate change — are to respondents.
The online survey can also be found at engagemb.ca/budget-2026.
