Finances:
Municipalities prepare audited and signed financial statements to provide transparency and accountability in how public funds are managed. The audit, conducted by an independent professional, ensures that the financial information is accurate, reliable, and in compliance with accounting standards. By signing the statements, officials formally take responsibility for the municipality’s financial position and results, helping to build trust with residents, oversight bodies, and potential funding partners.

Budget:
The Municipal Act states that each municipality must prepare an annual capital expenditure budget and an annual operations budget which must be adopted by way of bylaw. To prepare for this process Council conducts an extensive review of past and projected expenditures and holds a public forum to present the draft bylaws for public feedback and input prior to adoption.

These Bylaws are Available for Viewing Below:
