City of Brampton’s Budget 2018-2020 scores top award

The City of Brampton’s Approved Operating and Capital Budgets 2018-2020 has received “The Distinguished Budget Presentation Award” from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA).
This GFOA’s highest level of recognition in governmental budgeting. This is the third consecutive year that the City applied for and received the award and it represents a significant achievement in financial transparency and good governance. “Receiving the prestigious award for Distinguished Budget Presentation is yet another testament of our commitment to transparency and foresight in planning for Brampton’s future. As one of Canada’s youngest and most diverse cities, Brampton’s Budget 2018-2020 focuses on improving quality of living and investing in key strategic priorities for stronger economic prospects and growth,” said Mayor Mayor Linda Jeffrey.

In submitting for this award, the City had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. These guidelines assess how well the budget plan serves as a policy document, financial plan, operations guide and a communications vehicle.
“We remain steadfast on modernizing our corporation and enhancing the way we work to serve our residents more efficiently. Public input and transparency were key driving factors of our budget process, in addition to our commitment to meeting our financial obligations. We will continue to achieve excellence for our operations across the City of Brampton,” said
