The City of Toronto delivers over 160 different services including police, fire, and emergency medical services, parks and recreation programs, public libraries, transit, childcare, water filtration and road repairs.

How City Council establishes the City's budget and priorities directly affects the quality of life for every resident. The Operating Budget determines what programs and services the City will offer and how much the City will raise and spend within a year and in the immediate future. The Capital Budget and Plan provides funding for the facilities and infrastructure required to deliver those services.

A Staff Recommended 2013 Tax Supported Operating Budget and 2013-2022 Capital Budget and Plan are now being considered by the Budget Committee for recommendation to the Mayor and his Executive Committee and then to City Council.
