The Niagara Region has won an award for its budget presentation.
The Region has been recognized for the 12th year in a row for meeting the highest principles of government budgeting.
The Distinguished Budget Presentation Award comes from the Government Finance Officers Association.

Its 2025 budget process kicks off with a report indicating that without service reductions taxpayers are looking at a possible 8.72% tax hike.
The Region also recently parted ways with their Commissioner and Treasurer Todd Harrison.
