"Planning Today, for Tomorrow" is a slight twist on Mississauga's vision but it perfectly sums up the City’s approach to financial management. 

With the City Business Plan and Budget and the new Strategic Plan the City of Mississauga has positioned itself to continue its legacy of strong leadership and excellence in financial planning and fiscal prudence.  These documents clearly outline how and where the City’s resources will be used. 

They are our primary means of being accountable to the taxpayers of Mississauga – demonstrating what the City is doing, why we need to do it, how much it costs and how well the City is performing.  The plans serve as a guide for City Council and staff to make informed choices and sound judgements with limited resources.  By using the City's Business Plan, Budget and Strategic Plan the City is able to turn priorities into actions that help us to achieve our strategic goals and put limited resources to their best use.
