Public consultation is an integral part of the Town of Qualicum Beach’s financial planning process, and 2023 is the first year of a two-year process to improve public engagement.

In 2023, the Town’s budget process will be distinctively different from previous years, and 2023 budget discussions will be supported by a Financial Plan document prepared in accordance with best practices recommended by the Government of Financial Officers Association (GFOA).
