2025 Plan and Budget 

The Region of Waterloo’s Plan and Budget is how we support what matters most to the community. In the later months of 2024, Regional Council will shape the 2025 budget with input from the community. Read the initial report to Regional Council about the 2025 budget process.

The Region of Waterloo’s 2025 Plan and Budget will continue to invest in the priorities given to us by residents as we grow towards one million people in the coming decades. Learn more in our 2023-2027 Strategic Plan, Growing with Care.

Our four strategic priority areas are:

• Housing For All: We will invest in affordable homes and economic opportunity for all that are part of inclusive and environmentally sustainable communities.
• Climate Aligned Growth: As we grow, we will support a healthy environment where communities can thrive. Through intentional collaboration and creativity, we will support sustainable community growth.
• Equitable Services and Opportunities: Through collaboration and innovative design, we will provide equitable, accessible services across Waterloo Region that support the social determinants of health, safety and complete communities as we grow.
• Resilient and Future Ready Organization: The Region of Waterloo is a great place to work, where everyone is valued, feels they belong and where they have the supports and tools they need to do a great job. We will be prepared for the future by providing a safe space for bold ideas and experimentation, based on data and other ways of knowing.
