2027 Budget

Building Calgary's next budget 2027-30 Budget

Our four-year budget is about more than dollars and cents. It’s about planning for Calgary’s future.

Every four years, we create a plan for the services, infrastructure and programs Calgarians rely on every day. From public safety and transit to roads, parks and community spaces, the budget helps shape what Calgary will look like in the next four years.
