Chapleau Town Council's approved this year's budget.
Just weeks after approving this year's capital plans, Council during their Monday meeting approved the operating budget, which includes a 2.5 percent levy increase.
Emphasizing that COVID-19 has had a major effect on this year's budget - including on licences and permits - Mayor Michael Levesque says the major change to operations relates to restrictions from the pandemic.
Mayor Levesque adds Council's agreed to a CAO recommendation to keep the museum/tourist information centre closed for the season, though he notes that could be revisited later.
