Budget

Introduction

White City is inviting residents to participate in the planning of the 2023 Annual Budget and 2023-2025 Multi-Year Budget.

The Town is looking to get public feedback with a budget survey that will help shape the vision of the 2023 Annual Budget and future budgeting processes. The Town provides a number of programs, services and events for residents - budget planning involves work to make sure that programs and services are provided at an affordable level while making strategic capital investment in the growth of our community.

The 2023 Annual Budget is being developed on a status-quo basis that anticipates the that no COVID-19 restrictions will impact events or services in 2023. In the event that the community of White City, Emerald Park and the surrounding subdivisions are brought together under one urban municipal government, a new budget will be developed as part of a transition period.

To thank you for your valuable time and input we will be giving away prizes for participants that complete the survey.
