Budget & Finances

Municipal Budget

Regional Council approves a Budget and Business Plan and a Capital Plan every year. 

The municipal budget funds all costs associated with servicing a growing municipality.

This includes day-to-day municipal operations (i.e., transit, police, fire, garbage collection, snow clearing), capital priority initiatives approved by Regional Council (i.e., HalifACT, the Cogswell District project, the Integrated Mobility Plan) - as well as capital projects and investments to purchase, construct, rehabilitate and replace municipal assets like buildings, roads, active transportation, parks and bridges.
