2024 Draft Budget Tool - Datasets

The draft budget tool provides an interactive overview of some of the key components found in the draft budget. If at any point in time the figures found in this tool differ from the draft budget books or presentations at Committee, the draft budget books will be considered the accurate data.  

The draft budget is broken down by Committee, department and service areas as described in the Table of City Services and Standing Committee reporting structure. With direction from Council, the budget is drafted and tabled for review by each Standing Committee and adopted by Council. Aside from the draft budget considered by Committees, there are four external boards who debate their budget separately. These budgets are represented in the overviews but are not broken down by committee or included in the rates, fees and charges reports. For more information on these budgets please visit the agenda for the budget tabling meeting.
