2025 Municipal Budget

Consultation has concluded

The municipal budget is the City of Wetaskiwin’s plan for where our money comes from (revenues) and how we’ll spend it (expenditures) for the next year. It shows how tax dollars and other funding will be used to deliver the services you rely on, from building and maintaining roads and parks to running the Manluk Centre: Wetaskiwin Regional Aquatics and Fitness and other important City facilities.

Every year, the City creates and approves a municipal budget to fund programs and services at the levels set by City Council. This budget is one of the most important tasks for our Administration, as it ensures we have the resources needed to achieve Wetaskiwin’s Community Vision and Council priorities.

The municipal budget consists of two parts: the capital budget and the operating budget.

The capital budget outlines the annual plan for maintaining, upgrading, and replacing essential infrastructure, such as roads, sidewalks, utilities, and recreation facilities. This budget is usually funded through a mix of federal and provincial grants and municipal reserves. Read the approved 2025 Capital Budget.

The operating budget covers the day-to-day costs of running the City, including employee salaries, materials, and other operating expenses. It is funded from sources such as user fees, taxation, and grants in place. Read the proposed 2025 Operating Budget.
