City services impact your life every day. Each time you visit a recreation centre, borrow a book from the library, have your garbage or recycling picked up, drink clean water from the tap – you are using a City of Weyburn service.
The annual budget is a financial plan that describes how much money the City will raise and spend. It determines the level of service provided to Weyburn residents and guides decisions on what City infrastructure will be built and repaired.
