2023 Plan and Budget is approved!
The Region of Waterloo’s 2023 Plan and Budget outlines how we will support the things that matter most to the community. It is based on our Strategic Plan. Every year, the Plan and Budget outlines staffing and funds to deliver services and build or renew capital infrastructure (roads, buildings, vehicles, etc), so we can achieve our long-term goals.
On Feb. 22, 2023, Region of Waterloo Council passed a budget that invests in our growing community. The 2023 Plan and Budget increases and expands transit service, paramedic services, housing and homelessness supports, and accelerates initiatives to improve road safety for all users. It also balances affordability while maintaining essential services to one of the fastest growing communities in Canada.
In this year's budget process, the Region of Waterloo faced many of the same pressures experienced by other municipalities throughout Ontario. Inflation, population growth, increasing and complex community needs have all contributed to a challenging budget.
