Highlights from day one of Peel’s 2026 Budget presentations

BRAMPTON, ON (Nov. 20, 2025) – Today at Regional Council, Peel’s 2026 Budget Overview was presented, along with the Peel Regional Police Budget.

The 2026 Budget Overview highlighted some of the challenges Peel is facing as a growing community with increased service demands.

The proposed 2026 Budget includes investments of $7.4 billion to maintain current service levels for a growing population, while addressing priority community needs.

Critical urgent needs being addressed include:

• Building homes faster – ensuring housing enabling infrastructure is in place
• Supporting population-driven service demand
• Enhancing community safety and well-being
• Keeping Peel’s infrastructure assets in good repair
• Developing deeply affordable housing
• Managing the impacts of funding shortfalls

To address the challenges being faced, the 2026 Budget also reflects $11.5 million in cost savings and in cost avoidance found through continuous improvement efforts and cost containment measures.

For the impact on the overall property tax, Peel Region services account for a 1.98% increase, Peel Regional Police a 2.16% increase and other agencies 0.06%.
