The Executive Committee recommends that:

1. City Council approve in-year budget adjustments to Previously Approved Capital Budget and Plan, as detailed in Appendices 2a and 2b to the report (November 25, 2025) from the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.

The purpose of this report is to provide City Council with the City of Toronto capital spending for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, as well as the projected 2025 year-end expenditures. Furthermore, this report seeks Council's approval for in-year budget adjustments to the previously approved Capital Budget and Plan as outlined in Appendix 2a and Appendix 2b of this report.

Table 1 below summarizes the City's 2025 actual capital expenditures compared with the 2025 Approved Capital Budget for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, and the projected expenditures by year-end, December 31, 2025.

Table 1: Capital Variance Summary 

Capital spending for the first nine months of 2025 totals $3.140 billion, or 48.8% of the 2025 Approved Budget, representing an improvement compared with the five-year historical average of 41.9% for the same period. This upward trend is a positive indication as the City moves toward year-end. Spending levels will continue to be monitored with update to be provided in the final variance report following the 2025 year-end closure.
