MPB27.1deemed adopted
2025 Operating and Capital Budget
Section 226.14 (2) of the City of Toronto Act, 2006 provides that the Mayor shall, in accordance with the regulations, prepare a proposed budget for the City and provide the proposed budget to City Council for City Council's consideration. This report fulfills this requirement. In the 2024 Budget we faced a $1.8 billion budget shortfall. That's why, after a decade of neglect, we brought in a bold budget and a New Deal with the provincial government that worked to get our city back on track. We made significant progress over the last year with improved City services, faster emergency response times, and more shovels in the ground building affordable housing. And, for the first time in decades, we improved the City's credit rating to AA+ - saving Torontonians money on borrowing costs related to transit, housing, and more. Of course, our challenges are too great to solve in one year, but the hard choices made in 2024 are paying off for Toronto as seen in this year's budget. The 2025 Budget began with a $1.2 billion budget shortfall. That's a $600 million improvement from 2024. But closing this shortfall remains a challenge. To balance the 2025 Budget we are delivering another $680 million in reductions and offsets combined with the results of successful intergovernmental agreements that help us do more for Torontonians. The Mayor's 2025 Budget makes important investments to build more homes faster, accelerate approvals for purpose built rentals, and rapidly increase the supply of affordable and non-market housing. The budget works to prevent evictions, the loss of affordable housing, and to support renters through investments in the new Renoviction by-law, as well as critical programs like Eviction Prevention in Community, the Rent Bank, RentSafe, the Multi-Unit Residential Acquisition Program and the Tenant Support Program. We are getting Toronto moving with historic investments in the TTC and traffic agents. We are improving TTC service while freezing fares. The budget feeds more kids through expanded School Food Programs, summer camps and continues to invest in youth with expanded after school programs, additional youth hubs, increases to grants for youth-serving organizations, and a new $5 million Youth Safety Initiative to stop rising youth violence in our city. This Budget also expands library hours as we move to seven day a week library service at every branch in the city. It works to build a more liveable city with improved 311 service, investments to fix our community centres, roads, parks, and public space, expanded hours for pools and recreation centres, alongside opportunities to help Torontonians reduce their climate footprint. In the 2025 Budget, we are also introducing the first full-year of our City-wide fourth emergency service, Toronto Community Crisis Service (TCCS). It is a caring approach to supporting people in crisis, where trained crisis workers respond, de-escalate, and refer people to appropriate mental health and other social services. In addition, through the adoption of a multi-year hiring plan by the Toronto Police, 109 net new police officers will be added this year, including an expanded neighbourhood officer program. We are also adding 95 new frontline paramedics and 52 new firefighters to improve emergency response times across the city. And we are expanding eligibility for property tax deferral and cancellation programs, so thousands more qualify for support. The Mayor's Proposed 2025 Tax and Rate Supported Operating Budget is $18.849 billion gross and $5.639 billion net. The Mayor's Proposed Tax and Rate Supported 2025-2034 Capital Budget and Plan is $59.597 billion gross and $10.524 billion debt. The Capital Budget and Plan focuses on investments in Transit Funding ($17.0 billion), Transportation ($6.1 billion), and Housing ($4.5 billion plus a further $4.5 billion provided through foregone revenues); and includes investments such as the Line 2 subway train replacement and e-Bus procurement, focuses on climate mitigation and adaptation actions aimed at reducing ~160,725 tonnes/CO2 across all capital projects in the 2025 budget, and reduction of State of Good Repair (SOGR) backlog with an additional $6.0 billion increase in SOGR spending over the next 10 years. On January 28, 2025, the City of Toronto, the Government of Canada, and the Government of Ontario announced $975 million to accelerate the delivery of Waterfront Toronto's revitalization plan. With this investment, this partnership will build more than 14,000 homes, including affordable rental housing; create an estimated 100,000 skilled trades jobs; and add $13.2 billion to the economy. Each order of government has agreed to contribute $325 million to this initiative. Based on this recent announcement, I have directed the Chief Financial Officer to report to City Council in the first quarter of 2025, allocating $325 million in available capital funding capacity to the 2025-2034 Capital Budget.
City Council considered and debated this item on February 11, 2025. The Mayor's Proposed Budget was deemed adopted as amended by City Council on February 11, 2025, as the Mayor did not exercise the power to veto under subsection 226.14(4) of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, and shortened to this date the 10-day period to veto an amendment to the proposed budget.

Response to Ontario Regulation 286/09 Budget Matters - Expenses
The City of Toronto's (City) annual balanced budget is prepared using the cash basis of accounting. This method allows the City to focus on the funds required to support operating expenses in the fiscal year and to acquire capital assets. Ontario Regulation 286/09 "Budget Matters - Expenses" (Regulation) permits exclusion of non-cash accounting expenses from the City's annual budget such as amortization expenses, post-employment benefits expenses, and solid waste landfill closure and post-closure expenses. The Regulation further requires the City to provide: An estimate of the change in accumulated surplus as a result of the exclusion of the above expenses, and An analysis of the estimated impact of the exclusion of these expenses on future tangible capital asset funding requirements. Total expenses excluded from the 2025 budget is estimated to be $1.84 billion. These expenses will be recorded in the City's financial statements and reduce the accumulated surplus balance. The accumulated surplus represents the City's net investment in its tangible capital assets. The City's processes for capital requirements, through the City's Ten-Year Capital Budget and Plan, provide transparency in current and future year funding required for tangible capital assets.
