Budget 2026

Shaping the Communities 2026 Budget

In October 2025, the City of North Vancouver invited community members to share their perspectives to help inform the 2026 Annual Budget. Activities included an online survey and two in-person pop-up events, providing residents and people who work in the city with the opportunity to identify priorities and share feedback on City services, spending and revenue tools. These activities are now closed and City staff have compiled the data collected through engagement in a What We Heard Report that can be downloaded here.

About the Annual Budget and Financial Plan

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

The annual budget is part of the City’s 5-year Financial Plan. The plan considers external economic opportunities and pressures, the long-term vision for the City, and balances it 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 that residents rely on, 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.
