Triennial Capital Expenses Program

As provided for in the Municipal Code, Council must adopt, each year, a  triennal capital expenses program for the following three years.  It represents Municipal Council's intentions for capital investments and provides a global vision of projects in order to better anticipate financial needs.  Depending on the prices obtained during the call for tenders process, some projects may be subject to change.

This program has to be divided into annual phases. It must detail, for the period coinciding with it, the purpose, amount and method of financing the capital expenditures that the municipality plans to make and whose financing period exceeds 12 months.
