## Resource

Calgary’s on track for a $130 million surplus by 2026, fueled by smart spending, strong investment returns, and salary savings — a sign of solid fiscal management. The city’s been steadily outperforming projections since 2019, with the mayor urging cautious use of the windfall for one-time priorities like debt reduction and infrastructure, not annual budget padding. While economic uncertainties like tariffs loom, officials are updating forecasts as conditions evolve — keeping Calgary’s financial house in order while preparing for future challenges.
