City of Martensville - 2027 Budget Survey

The City of Martensville is preparing for the 2027 Municipal Budget, and we are inviting residents to help shape the priorities that will guide future investments, services, and projects across our community.

Through this survey, residents will have an opportunity to provide feedback on the services, infrastructure, programs, and initiatives that matter most to them.

Please note:
- This survey is only open to residents of Martensville
- Residents are asked to complete the survey only once
- All responses will remain confidential
- As a thank you for participating, respondents will be entered in a draw to win one of two Family Day Passes to the Martensville Aquatic Centre.

This survey is guided by the City’s 2025–2029 Strategic Plan, which focuses on:
• Managing growth and investing in infrastructure
• Enhancing quality of life and community well-being
• Supporting economic growth and local business
• Ensuring responsible, transparent governance

Feedback collected through this survey will help Administration and Council better understand community priorities as decisions are made for the 2027 Budget and future planning initiatives.

The survey should take approximately 5–10 minutes to complete.
