Our Plan and Budget

Our Plan and Budget is how we make investments in things that matter guided by our Growing with Care Strategic Plan. It’s how we support the people of Waterloo Region with:

Roads and infrastructure
Paramedic and public health services
Clean drinking water and wastewater services
Affordable housing
Museums and cultural programming
...And much more!

The 2026 Plan and Budget balances community needs with affordability.
