| Funding Source | Amount |
| Debt | $2,172,800.00 |
| Turbine Reserve Funds | $665,000.00 |
| Fire Capital Replacement Reserve | $1,333,441.90 |

Note: The 2025 Development Charges Background Study released on December 31, 2025, included the new expanded Dashwood Fire Station as an eligible project with recoverable costs. If the 2025 Development Charges Study is approved and the associated by-Law passed by Council, approximately 22.46% of the Gross Capital Cost of this project would be funded by development charges (DCs). Based on the Proposed Total Budget, this would equate to approximately $914,300. As DCs are collected under the new by-law they would replenish the Fire Capital Replacement Reserve with the principal amount of $914,300 plus applicable interest.
