The 2025 budget includes increased expenses due to the increase in contribution to the Climate Change Reserve, approved salary and benefit costs, and reduced recoveries of costs from capital projects. The annual contribution to the Climate Change reserve is $513,359 for 2025 ($494,089 in 2024). During the 2022 budget deliberations, Council approved indexing this contribution annually based on CPI.

The Asset Management and Capital Planning Division has requested new staff positions not included in the budget. These requests can be found in Section 4 Staffing Requests not included in the Draft 2025 Budget.

Interactive Budget

The OpenBook budget tool enhances the transparency of the City's Budget by allowing us to share financial information visually in accessible and easy to understand formats. View our budget data using charts, tables, and graphs. We hope you find this helpful.

Through our OpenBook reports, you can start at the organizational level then click on a department to go down to the division/section/service level as you explore the financial information for the City. Flip between charts, tables and graphs to display the data in a way that visualizes the information based on your preference.

In OpenBook tables, all column headers labeled as "Current Year" refer to 2025; "Previous Year" refers to 2024.

Please note: The 2025 Budget is the first year that the City has used this budget tool to enhance how it shares information with residents. We're learning how to use the new platform and will be adding features and reports as we explore the tool's capabilities.
