It's budget time and the District of Sechelt is currently planning projects and services for 2025. 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 roadworks. 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 27, 2024. (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 (dates to come)
  • Attend and share at a Council budget meeting (dates to come)
  • Share these opportunities with your communities

Your feedback will be collected and presented to Council in a public report in late 2024 or early 2025.
