ABSTRACT
The Municipal Funding Study examines 20+ key performance indicators to understand the role external funding sources such as grants and debentures play in the financial administration of Ontario municipalities. Using 10 years of publicly available data filed through the Financial Information Returns of 444 municipalities, information is provided for the subject municipality to contextualize performance against comparators for indicators such as grants per capita, debt capacity in relation to the Annual Repayment Limit, and trend in total capital spending. A macro-economic update is provided to summarize factors influencing the funding environment. Finally, a series of recent funding opportunities are investigated and certain misalignments are identified between the purpose of grants made available by senior governments and the need of municipalities.
