Budget and Finances

Budget

The City of Peterborough follows an extensive process for establishing our operating and capital budgets each year. We hold several public meetings - before setting the guidelines for developing the draft budget, before Council holds its budget deliberations for discussing and debating on the items in the budget, and before Council considers final approval of the budget. Residents engage with Council members and City staff on community priorities and on what's in the draft budget.

City Council approved the City of Peterborough 2019 Budget, including Operating and Capital Expenditures on Monday, January 28, 2019.

The draft 2020 Budget was presented on Monday, December 9 for public review. Council will meet as Finance Committee from January 13 to 16, 2020 to consider the draft 2020 Budget. Council will consider final approval of the 2020 Budget at its regular meeting on January 27, 2020.
