What guides our Plan and Budget?
Our Plan and Budget is how we make wise investments in things that matter. It’s how we support the people of Waterloo Region with:
- Roads and infrastructure
- Paramedic and public health services
- Clean drinking water and wastewater services
- Affordable housing
- Museums and cultural programming
- ...And much more!
Our focus for the 2027 budget is clear in the face of these pressures:
- affordability for residents,
- maintaining critical services, and
- protecting essential infrastructure.
This is a stability-focused budget to ensure that the services and systems our residents rely on remain strong and reliable, while also supporting our community through a period of economic uncertainty.
