The City of Quinte West’s 2024 budget book won the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Award.
“The city is honoured to receive the GFOA award for the first time,” says Matt Hodge, Manager of Finance, in a release. “This award is a testament to the dedication, hard work and collaboration of numerous city departments and the staff who contributed to this achievement.”
According to the city, the award recognizes the quality of the city’s first-ever budget book as a policy document, financial plan, operations guide and source of important public information.
The city says the budget book format was adopted to centralize and improve the transparency of its annual budget information, recommendations, and forecasts for council and the public.
