Every year, the qRD creates a Five-Year Financial Plan to ensure the provision of services and programs now and in the future. The Strategic Plan, Electoral Area Official Community Plans, work plans, input from advisory committees, Directors and Staff, feedback from community groups and the public all contribute toward development of the Financial Plan.
The public is encouraged to attend any of the upcoming budget meetings from December 2024 to February 2025 and provide feedback on the 2025 Budget and Five-Year Financial Plan. A detailed timeline of upcoming budget meetings is available on this page.
Should you have any questions about the current or proposed financial plan please submit them to finance@qathet.ca, or call Linda Greenan, Manager of Financial Services at 604-485-2260.
