2023 Plan and Budget
It’s time to plan the 2023 Budget, and the Region of Waterloo wants to hear what matters most to you. All Region residents can have their say now through an online survey.
Right now, municipalities across the province face significant budget challenges. The Region’s 2023 budget must balance expanding important services for our growing community, and rising costs caused by high inflation and fuel prices.
Every year, the Region of Waterloo’s plan and budget outlines staffing and funds required to deliver services in our community, and to build or renew capital infrastructure (roads, buildings, vehicles, etc).
Regional Council will finalize the budget in early 2023.
You can share your priorities for the 2023 Plan and Budget through a survey at www.engagewr.ca/budget2023. It’s open until the end of 2022. You can also submit a question or learn how to attend an upcoming public meeting.
What is the Plan and Budget?
- Whether it’s new or familiar to you, it affects all of us.
- The Plan and Budget is what ensures all of our efforts support the things that matter most to the community.
- The Strategic Plan 2019-2023 describes the community's vision of a world class community.
- The 2023 Plan outlines the main initiatives and actions needed to make progress on the Strategic Plan in the coming year.
- And the budget is how everything is funded to make the plan happen – it’s like fuel that powers the engine.
- Working together, the Plan and the Budget sets the stage for helping to build a world class community.
