About these figures: Alberta Municipal Affairs, Municipal financial and statistical data, financial years 2021–2025 (Open Government Licence - Alberta). These are actual results, not the adopted budget. Revenue includes capital grants, developer levies and donated assets, while expenses include amortization rather than capital spending, so revenue minus expenses is not an operating surplus. Per-resident spending divides total expenses by the population in the same dataset. Source data
