Annual Budget Process

Each year, the Village develops an annual budget to meet community needs and balance the delivery of services with property taxes and user fees.

The Village is committed to financial transparency and strong fiscal management which form a foundation of the budget process. The budget is developed to manage current demands but also incorporates the longer term strategy and vision for the Village through its Financial Plan.

Preparation of the budget is guided by:

  • The leadership of Council and Staff;
  • Feedback from the community through meetings, "Have your Say" surveys, letters to Council, and discussions; and
  • Thoughtful community planning and research.
