The municipal budget is the City of Wetaskiwin’s financial plan for the year ahead. It outlines where money comes from (revenues) and how it will be spent (expenditures). This includes how tax dollars and other funding sources will support the services you rely on every day—from building and maintaining roads and parks to operating 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. Creating and approving this budget is one of the City’s most important responsibilities, ensuring we have the resources needed to deliver on Wetaskiwin’s Community Vision and Council’s priorities.
The municipal budget consists of two parts: the capital budget and the operating budget.
Capital Budget: Funds projects that maintain, upgrade, and replace essential infrastructure in the city, like roads, sidewalks, utilities, recreation facilities, and more. The capital budget is through funded through federal and provincial grants, as well as municipal reserves. Read the proposed 2026 Capital Budget (External Link).
Operating Budget: Covers the City's day-to-day costs, such as employee wages, materials, and other operating expenses. It is typically funded through user fees, taxation, and grants. Coming soon: 2026 Proposed Operating Budget
