Building a Better Budget

Council is once again seeking public input into the development of the annual budget!  “We are asking the public to let us know what’s important to you in order to inform a plan that will provide sustainable services and infrastructure that citizens expect while remaining within current funding constraints” Mayor Giuliano.  We're asking the public to complete a short Budget Survey to help shape and inform the 2017 budget (printable copy) [PDF - 804 KB]

Municipalities strive to provide satisfactory Sustainable Service Delivery by maximizing benefits and minimizing risks and costs to acquire, operate, maintain and replace assets.  Our list of services and assets are extensive:  land development, protective services, recreation parks, trails, community facilities, roads, water & sewer systems, and the list goes on.  A major challenge is sourcing sufficent funds to maintain services and repair or replace our aging assets.

“Council is working hard to establish a budget that meets community needs in the most fiscally responsible way possible” says Mayor Giuliano. “Please encourage your family and friends to provide input.  Working with our community, we can achieve the best possible plan for the future”.

The survey deadline has been extended to November 14, 2016.  Please stay tuned for more Budget News and engagement opportunities!
