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.
Where your taxes and levies went in 2025
The following image breaks down how your taxes and levies were spent last year.
In October 2025, the City conducted public engagement, inviting the public to share their thoughts about priorities for the 2026 Annual Budget. This engagement is now closed. A What We Heard Report summarizing key findings will be shared soon on this page.
