The City of Winnipeg expects to end the year with an $18.9-million deficit for its tax-supported budget. The early negative outlook is based on financial results up to March 31. At this point, Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service expects a shortfall of $6.5 million, primarily due to increased overtime. The planning, property and development department expects a $5.4-million shortfall, mostly due to lower-than-expected fee and service revenues.

Winnipeg’s municipal government created more greenhouse gases last year, despite a key target to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. In 2024, City of Winnipeg operations created 319,811 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions, up 3.9 per cent — or 12,034 tonnes — from the previous year. The figure counts pollution created by the municipal government’s buildings, vehicles, equipment, water and waste infrastructure and streetlights, not overall community-wide emissions.
