The municipal budgeting process is a planning tool that enhances your local government's accountability and service delivery and sets out their legal expenditure authority. Local governments must annually adopt a financial plan in accordance with the Local Government Act and the Community Charter. The planning period must include the current fiscal year and the next four fiscal years (five-year plan). Legislation establishes requirements and deadlines for adoption of financial plans by May 15 of each calendar year.
The City's budgeting process is a year-round commitment, and public input is always welcome as staff and Council build the five-year financial plan for adoption.
