The Financial Services Department is responsible for the financial well being of our municipality, through the provision of effective and reliable financial advice, services and information to Council, staff and the public. The Department collects an annual amount from various sources including property taxes, utility payments, service charges, and senior government grants and oversees the expenditure of these funds through the annual budget process. Financial functions also include purchasing goods and services, controlling inventory, accounts payable, payroll, investment (including land assets), business liaison and development, insurance, and the provision of property tax and utility information.

All District spending is governed by the 5-Year Financial Plan that must be approved by Council and must comply with the guidelines for municipalities contained in the Local Government Act and Community Charter. The municipality also provides year-end reporting including its audited financial statements.

The Finance Department, in compliance with government purchasing policy, standards and regulations manages all purchasing and follows the 5-year Financial Plan.

Municipal staff is committed to a strong customer service focus in responding to various issues and to using prudent business practices in the delivery of services to both internal and external customers.

In order to make services more accessible the municipality offers a convenient pre-authorized payment plan and many financial institutions accept property tax and utility payments online over the internet (inquire at your financial institution to see if they are involved in internet banking).

Our pre-authorized payment plan enables you to make 12 monthly installments on either your utility or property tax account or both. Please fill out a Pre-authorized Payment Agreement and bring it into Municipal Hall for activation.
