The Capital Regional District (CRD) Board reviewed and approved the provisional Financial Plan for 2022 on October 27, 2021. Questions and comments received about the provisional plan were shared with the Board for consideration ahead of and as part of the final plan review and approval process.

    The operating portion of the provisional CRD Financial Plan pays for the expenses required to advance Board strategic priorities, including labour, supplies, programs, services and repayment of debt for major projects.

    * Three climate action initiatives identified in the CRD’s new Climate Action Strategy, require an increase to the maximum allowable funding requisition for the CRD’s Climate Action and Adaption Service to implement. This is dependent on a municipal consent process, taking place in early 2022, to amend Bylaw No. 3510. If approved these initiatives will add $900,000 to the final budget in March.
