Wrenford City Council has approved the 2026–2030 Capital Works Program, a four-year plan that outlines $415 million in investments to renew essential infrastructure, upgrade community facilities, and keep the city running smoothly.
The approved plan covers everything from water and wastewater upgrades to road resurfacing, park improvements, and public safety facilities. It builds on the 2022–2026 program and reflects the city’s commitment to keeping assets in a state of good repair while preparing for growth.
“We are investing in the foundations that keep Wrenford safe, connected, and growing,” said Mayor Danielle Okafor-Price. “This program focuses on renewing aging infrastructure, improving our community centres and parks, and making smart choices that will serve residents for years to come. I want to thank City staff for delivering a plan that balances our responsibilities today with the needs of tomorrow.”
Major allocations in the 2026–2030 program include:
- $142 million for water and wastewater infrastructure, including main replacements and treatment plant upgrades.
- $98 million for roads and winter maintenance, covering resurfacing, sidewalk repairs, and bridge rehabilitation.
- $85 million for parks and trails, including pathway expansions, playground renewals, and field improvements.
- $62 million for community facilities and public safety, including major renovations at the Tamsin Valley Leisure Centre and the construction of a new four-bay fire hall in the Wildrye neighbourhood.
- $28 million for transit fleet renewal and terminal upgrades.
Council also directed staff to report back with a detailed cost estimate for the Corvid Creek Ravine Pathway Extension before construction begins in 2027. The plan commits to continuing work with the Tamsin Valley Conservation Authority on shoreline protection projects along the Tamsin River.
Under Ontario rules, the City is allowed to borrow up to a certain amount for capital projects. Residents will be asked to approve borrowing for three categories of investment during the upcoming municipal election: $110 million for community-serving and essential facilities, $75 million for transportation and street infrastructure, and $15 million for parks and open spaces.
The 2026–2030 Capital Works Program is part of the city’s broader budget strategy. Council will vote on the final 2026 Tax Levy By-law on September 24, 2026.
