Finances

The Budget provides value for property tax dollars by investing in services that enhance our quality of life and builds for the future in a financially responsible manner. It meets community priorities in infrastructure renewal, roads and safe neighbourhoods. The proposed budget is prepared by Administration and forwarded to the Budget Committee for preliminary review, taking into consideration both community input and direction from City Council.
