2021 Budget Consultation
All Municipalities in BC must have a financial plan (also commonly known as the Budget) that is adopted annually, by bylaw, before the annual property tax bylaw is adopted. The Budget must set out the proposed expenditures, funding sources, and transfers to or between funds by the Municipality. Part of the process is getting feedback from the community on the proposed Budget.

Phases
Bylaw Development and Adoption
In this phase of the Budget development process, the Finance Department created a consolidated five-year Financial Plan Bylaw for Council's consideration. The Bylaw was accompanied by a staff report and includes information about the feedback received from the community through the Public Consultation process, which ended on January 31, 2021.
