Budget 2024

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

It's budget time and the District of Sechelt is currently planning projects and services for 2024. Each year staff prepare an annual operating and capital budget for Council to consider. We want your feedback on where the District should spend tax dollars, and ideas on how to balance the budget, while still maintaining core services and programs to meet the needs of residents and businesses.

The Financial Plan, or Budget, 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.

How to get involved and share your feedback

  • Complete the survey by Sunday, October 1, 2023. (Enter to win a $25 gift certificate for completing)
  • Contact the Mayor and Council directly to provide feedback via Mayor and Council email
  • Attend an Online Public Information session (noted below)
  • Attend and share at a Council budget meeting this winter
  • Share these opportunities with your communities

Your feedback will be collected and presented to Council in a public report later this year.

Online Public Information sessions will take place on:

Two sessions will be available, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Links to these sessions will be provided closer to the meeting dates.

    Has there been provision made to resurface Trail from Surf Circle up towards the Arena?

    DLY asked about 1 month ago

    We rely on grants for larger projects, like full repaving would be. Although we applied for a grant for upper Trail portion at the same time as the grant for the lower portion of Trail, we only received the grant money for the portion between downtown and Surf Circle. We continue to apply for grants for the upper section of Trail. Fingers crossed!
