Help shape the City’s 2025 Budget

We are developing our annual budget and want to hear from you. Your feedback will help us keep the community’s priorities top of mind as we take care of today’s needs and plan for tomorrow.

About the Annual Budget and Financial Plan

Each year, the City develops a balanced budget that guides how much it needs to spend to provide services for that year and how much revenue it will need to fund those services.

The annual budget is part of the City’s 5-year Financial Plan that forecasts future budgeting to ensure accountability and service delivery to taxpayers. The plan considers external economic opportunities and pressures and the long-term vision for the City, balanced with the need to provide the essential services that residents rely on every day.

There are Three Main Categories of the Financial Plan:

• Operating Budget: Ensures the dependable delivery of essential services and programs, including public safety, transportation and transit, recreation and culture, and more.
• Capital Budget: An investment plan for maintaining, improving and building essential infrastructure, including the new Harry Jerome Community Recreation Centre, roads and sidewalks, parks and trails, and more.
• Utilities Budget: Ensures effective and sustainable delivery of water, sewer services and waste collection.
