2014 Operational Budget

Operating Budget

Setting the municipal budget should be done as soon as possible in order to provide staff with the guidance needed to achieve the municipality’s goals for the year. Ideally this process should be completed prior to the beginning of the fiscal year.

The Municipal Government Act requires that every municipality adopt an annual operating budget.
