The City of Dawson Creek completes a number of projects every year using the City’s Capital Budget. These projects contribute to the sustainability of Dawson Creek.
Our 5-Year Financial Plan Bylaw must be approved by Council each year in the spring before Capital Projects can begin. This is part of the budget timeline each year.
The City of Dawson Creek took on a number of capital projects this year, including road repair and maintenance, sewer main replacements, new playground equipment and more.
