Have your say: Budget 2026!

The City of New Westminster is currently developing the Financial Plan for 2026 to 2030, building on the strong foundation established in recent years. The 2026 budget process will continue to reflect our commitment to financial sustainability, community engagement, and Council’s strategic priorities, while addressing the evolving needs of our diverse and growing population.

As in previous years, the City will continue to seek meaningful community input to help shape the upcoming budget. Residents and businesses will have opportunities to participate and offer feedback during the budget process. Your participation is essential in aligning financial decisions with the needs and expectations of all New Westminster residents and business owners/operators.
