2026 Draft Financial Plan

The Village of Kaslo’s 2026 Draft Financial Plan outlines how the municipality proposes to fund services, maintain infrastructure, and invest in the community over the next five years.

The draft plan covers the 2026–2030 planning period and reflects Council priorities, service levels, and anticipated financial pressures. It is presented for public information and feedback before being finalized and adopted by Council.

  • Identifies funding sources, including taxation, fees, and reserves

  • Helps Council make informed decisions that balance community needs with affordability
