2022 Budget Consultation

The 2022-2026 Five-Year Financial Plan Bylaw was adopted by Council at the Regular Council Meeting on May 10, 2022.

City staff presented a public engagement summary at a March 15, 2022 Finance Committee Meeting (Item 3.2). Thank you to everyone who participated in our survey!

The budget process is about balancing the delivery of services and programs (spending) with property taxes, fees and charges, and funds from other sources (revenues) to meet the needs of the community. Your input helps Council and the City find that balance and provide the best value for your tax dollars.
