2025 Budget Development
Development of the 2025-2029 Financial Plan (2025 Budget) started in July 2024 with the approval of 2025 Business Planning Guidelines. The focus of the 2025 Budget will be maintaining service levels and continuing to deliver on the 2023-2026 Council Strategic Plan.
The City began the next phase of the business planning process on October 22, 2024 with department updates to Council. This presentation can be viewed in the Important Documents section of this page.
Community engagement to invite input on budget priorities opened on October 23, 2024. This phase of engagement will help align department budgets with service levels set by Council and build a strategic workplan to deliver on Council's priorities. These components all contribute to the development of the five-year Financial Plan.
Based on the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan, the City developed a set of performance measures known as Objectives and Key Results (OKR) that will enable the organization to deliver on the Strategic Priorities with clear outcomes that the City is aiming to achieve over the next 18 months. The OKR framework guides the development of the proposed 2025 strategic work plan, provided to Council as part of the quarterly updates.
