5 Year Financial Plan


What is a 5 Year Financial Plan?

The Community Charter requires that Council adopt a 5 Year Financial Plan each year prior to the adoption of the annual Property Tax Bylaw. The purpose of the 5 Year Financial Plan is to provide a budgetary framework for the City to plan the management of its resources, revenues and expenditures in order to best serve the community. The following video provides an introduction to the City's budget process.
