The City’s recreation, cultural, and administrative facilities will see $2.3  million in funding in 2023, with another $900,000 dedicated to parks and  green spaces.  

The five-year capital program captures proposed Capital projects through  to 2027,  identifying high-priority  projects and coordinating them with potential funding opportunities. 

Unfunded capital projects - that is, those which are "currently not recommended to move forward, purely due to lack of resources", in the words of the Director of Corporate Services, are listed below. She also said that the list is by no means exhaustive, and the costs are "heavily" estimated at this point.
