PITT MEADOWS, BC – For the fifth consecutive year, the City of Pitt Meadows has received the Canadian Award for Financial Reporting for its 2018 Annual Report. The award recognizes quality in governmental accounting and financial reporting and represents a significant accomplishment by a municipal government and its management.
“I am proud of the excellent work of our Finance and Communications departments to once again be recognized by this prestigious award for clear and transparent financial reporting,” says Mayor Bill Dingwall. “Our Annual Report outlines the City’s achievements, measures the progress made on Council’s strategic goals, and shows strong fiscal management that delivers great value for our citizens.”
