The 2023 Budget was adopted on May 10, 2023

Council adopted the 2023 Budget at its meeting on May 10, 2023

It's budget time and the District of Sechelt is currently planning projects and services for 2023! The Community Charter requires that local governments approve a Five Year Financial Plan bylaw each year (by May 15th) prior to the adoption of the annual property tax bylaw. The Financial Plan is also commonly referred to as “The Budget”.

Each year the municipality must create a budget that pays for the services provided by the District of Sechelt, including bylaw enforcement, parks, festivals and cultural programs, and much more. The budget must also fund the capital expenses, including, for example, public facilities and roadwork. Only the services most needed by our residents are maintained and improved where necessary.

Like any household or business, the municipality is challenged with increased costs when developing the annual budget. Unlike households or businesses, local governments must balance the budget and are not permitted to run a deficit.

Share Your Feedback

Each year, the public has the opportunity to provide comments and feedback on the preliminary budget for the District of Sechelt. Residents can gather information about the 2023 Budget by attending a public information session or viewing materials online.

The next Online Public Information sessions will take place online on Tuesday, January 24 at:

Please take a look at the 2023 Provisional Budget vs. 3. We're starting the budget process early so that residents and Council will be able to have enough time to review, ask question and provide important feedback. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to post below and we'll be happy to answer as best we can.

    There isn't budget allocated as Council opted to leave the Boulevard as is. Should Council make motion to change the Boulevard, budget would be considered.
