By City of Trail
The City of Trail is pleased to announce it has received the Canadian Award for Financial Reporting (CAnFR) by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) for its 2020 Annual Report. This is the City’s fifth consecutive year to receive the CAnFR award for its excellence in financial reporting. The theme of the report, reflecting on community, was chosen to represent the community’s dedication and diligence to essential services while adapting to the challenges and restrictions of the pandemic.
“We are very proud to receive this award once again,” said Rino Merlo, Interim CFO and Deputy Director of Finance for the City of Trail. “While it’s always our goal to provide the community accurate financials to align with the Community Charter and the Local Government Act, our team also aims to receive the award annually.”
“Congratulations to the City staff who continue to produce an award-winning report,” said Mayor Lisa Pasin. “In addition to the financial information, the document really captures the City’s 2020 journey of challenges and successes. It’s apparent the team takes immense pride in their community and their work on the report; I encourage everyone to have a look.”
The City of Trail finance and administration staff members assigned to the project, Rino Merlo and Andrea Jolly, are already working on the content for the next report. “It’s now time to focus on the 2021-year end and report details,” said Merlo. “Once it has been inspected by the public and approved by Council, it will be submitted for consideration for the 2021 CAnFR award.”
