What's Happening?
Every year, the City of Mission updates its budget and 5-year Financial Plan to ensure its finances are aligned to reflect high-quality service delivery and the continued priorities identified by Council and the community.
The Financial Plan's programs also take into consideration new initiatives or service level changes that are based on Council’s Strategic Plans, Master Plans, and through the ongoing work to improve operations and services to the community.

The Director of Finance will provide a presentation of the 2026 budget and key drivers. Afterward, there will be opportunities to ask staff questions in one-on-one discussions and to provide feedback.
