How to Participate in the 2025 Budget Process
Community input is an essential step in developing the City’s annual budget and five-year financial plan to inform staff and Council on the community’s service expectations.
Residents will have an opportunity to provide feedback on the draft 2025 budget and five-year financial plan in January (dates to be advised).
Input can also be provided at any time by contacting City staff at:

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 Oct 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 was open Oct 23 - Nov 5, 2024 to 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.
On Dec 9 and 10 Council deliberated on the 2025 budget and approved the 2025-29 capital plan and one-time priority projects. One-time priority projects are funded by surplus, grants, and reserves, align with Council’s strategic priorities, and have no direct tax impact.
The 2025 annual budget will also be informed by the results of the 2024 Citizen Survey. This survey was conducted in June and is a statistically representative snapshot of the community’s views on the quality of life in Maple Ridge and the performance of City services. The results can be viewed here.
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.
