Questions  and Answers

   What is a capital project?
A capital project refers to the purchase, upgrade, expansion, or construction of a City asset that requires a significant financial investment. Often referred to as infrastructure, these projects include extending sidewalks and active transportation networks, improving roadways and drainage systems, expanding and enhancing our parks and trails network, and upgrading arenas and community facilities.
     Why invest in infrastructure?

Investing in infrastructure is essential to maintaining a high quality of life for current and future generations. By building, improving, and maintaining core infrastructure such as roads, parks, facilities, active transportation routes, and drainage systems, the City better serves its growing community.

These investments support priority projects while allowing the City to build reserve funds and pursue long-term, sustainable solutions.

      How are projects funded?

Capital projects are funded through a combination of taxes, grants, and reserves (savings), which are used to cover the costs of building infrastructure.

The City also collects Development Cost Charges (DCCs) on new developments. These funds come directly from developers and must be used specifically for the purposes for which they were collected. DCCs help ensure that growth pays for growth, reducing the financial burden on future taxpayers.

      How are projects prioritized? 

We prioritize projects based on the following criteria:

 

  • Strategic Priorities of Council identified with the community
  • Infrastructure gaps
  • Improvements or replacements needed due to age, wear, growth and/or changes in regulations
  • Customer service requests from the public
  • Maintenance reports from employees
  • Expert analyses
  • System sustainability (asset management)
