    The city of Corner Brook is putting the final touches on Budget 2026, which will be brought down Monday night. On Bayfm with Lenny Benoit, Mayor Linda Chaisson says council and staff met for three days to discuss priorities, which included results input from public discussions. She says the budget speech is currently being written and it’s wait and see at this point. Chaisson says a lot of council members are new and this is a learning experience on a budget that will cover the next four years. Chaisson says she can’t give away any details …just yet, but will be live on Bayfm Tuesday morning with Councillor Donna Luther for a budget discussion. 

    Last year, it was an early Christmas present for Corner Brook residents with no change to property tax rates. The budget came in at $41.9 million, an increase of nearly 7 percent over 2024. There was a $20 increase to the annual residential unit charge for water.
