Budget Information
Each year, the approved budget details how money will be spent to provide essential services to residents in conjunction with Council's strategic priorities and vision. Revenue is primarily from municipal grants from the Province of Alberta and property taxes. The budget is divided between operating and capital expenses. The operating budget covers day to day expenses and employee salaries, as well as resources and utilities needed for daily operation. The capital budget accounts for developing and maintaining infrastructure and facilities across Town.

Budget Process
The Municipal Government Act states that a Municipal Council is to pass a budget for each year. Our budget process starts with resident and business feedback throughout the year, especially through our Citizen Satisfaction Survey. Fall workshops are used to further develop operational and capital project plans. Council provides direction and priorities to Administration for the financial planning. A three year operating and capital financial plan is presented to Council. From this financial plan a one year budget is adopted and approved by council.
