Capital Budget approved for 2019

Council voted to approve the 2019 capital budget on April 1, 2019. The plan includes approximately $24 million for capital projects.

"We have carefully considered the balance of projects identified for 2019 between pedestrian and active transportation improvements versus road and traffic improvements and listened to the feedback from the public.,” explained Councillor Dave Lane. “The identified projects for 2019 address the highest priority areas and ensure we are making every effort to protect the integrity of our infrastructure.”

The City’s capital program is determined on an annual basis and funded primarily from an allocation from the City’s annual operating budget. This program is different from the City’s larger cost-shared capital arrangements with the Federal and Provincial Governments, for which the City borrows its share of the cost.
