Thank you to everyone who provided their input to assist in the 2025 budget planning process. The what we heard reports are now available for download under "what we heard reports." Your input will be used to guide departmental budget planning discussions.
About the project
When planning the budget, the Town estimates how much money will be spent (expenditures) to maintain public services and infrastructure, and how that money that will be generated (revenue) to meet the anticipated expenditures. Once these estimates are made and plans are set, staff develop the budget for Council’s consideration. Learn more about last year's budget.
As we continue to deliver services to our growing community, we are working to ensure that our business plans and budgets reflect the projects and service level that our residents have come to know and expect. And in doing so, we are committed to ensuring that the services we provide are aligned with the needs of Cochranites and delivered in an effective, efficient and financially sustainable way.
