Five Year Financial Plan
Each year Council reviews the priorities and goals for the upcoming year and directs staff to prepare a comprehensive five-year financial plan, as required by the Community Charter. The five-year plan reflects the RMOW’s continuing effort to provide quality of service in daily operations and local governance consistent with the priorities and strategies identified by the Whistler2020, the community's comprehensive sustainability plan.
Five-Year Financial Plan 2011-2015:
The Five-Year Financial Plan 2011-2015 is designed to provide significant information concerning the financial position of the municipality and services that will be provided over the next five years.
This Five-Year Financial Plan has been prepared following the priorities contained in Whistler2020, Whistler’s community vision and highest level policy document; direction established by council during the strategic planning session in April 2009; and the Long-Term Financial Plan. It expresses, in financial terms, the recommended work program for the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) over the next five years with an emphasis on 2011, the current fiscal year.
This plan will ensure the municipality’s limited financial resources are used in the most cost-effective manner as we move toward our vision: Whistler will be the premier mountain resort community - as we move toward sustainability.
