2019 Budget

Following Council’s budget directions from June 4, 2018, City staff are working to prepare the 2019 Business Plan & Budget. Subject to Council’s discussions, the Business Plan & Budget will be approved in January.

 About the Business Plan & Budget

The proposed 2019 Business Plan & Budget will be presented to Council and shared publicly in December. It will outline how the City plans to allocate resources to deliver the programs and services residents and businesses rely on every day. The Budget is developed using a service-based approach that relates labour, materials and other costs to the programs and services they support.

Budget changes are driven by: increased costs to maintain existing service levels, legislative changes or increased service levels (e.g. new services or service enhancements).
