Budget Watch

We do expect some impacts on the municipal budget for the implementation of Culture Plan.

This plan will go forward for Council approval in October 2023, and the multi-year budget (for 2024-2027) will be presented this November. Staff have identified a range of budget requests to fulfill the plan based on what we've heard so far in order to meet the deadlines the City’s budget process.

Though the budget is set for a four-year period (and capital projects like new facilities and equipment are on a 10-year projection), the budget is opened up each year to ensure we have budgeted appropriately to meet the needs of the community. The finished Culture Plan may influence changes to the budget in coming years.
