On February 10, 2026, City Council approved the 2026–2029 Capital Works Program, a four-year roadmap for major infrastructure and facility projects across the city. The program totals $280 million and focuses on renewing aging assets, supporting neighbourhood growth, and keeping public services running smoothly.
The plan puts money into several key areas. Roads and transit get $110 million for resurfacing, sidewalk repairs, and the replacement of older transit buses. Water and wastewater infrastructure receives $75 million to replace aging water mains and upgrade pumps at the Tamsin River Water Treatment Plant. Parks and community facilities are allocated $65 million for playground upgrades, path resurfacing, and roof replacements at community centres. Public safety buildings will see $30 million in improvements to fire and paramedic stations.
“This plan keeps our neighbourhoods safe and livable by fixing what is broken and building what we need next,” said Mayor Danielle Okafor-Price. “It balances the needs of today with the responsibilities of tomorrow.”
The City will pay for these projects using a mix of reserve funds, provincial grants, and development charges collected from new housing and commercial construction. Council also approved a by-law to adjust borrowing limits for essential projects. Any borrowing that exceeds the current limit will be put to a vote by residents if requested, as required under the Municipal Act, 2001.
Project timelines and street closures will be posted on the View the capital works program page. You can track updates and receive alerts about road work or water main breaks through Service Alerts.
