2022 Annual Report

The Annual Report highlights the City’s strategic goals, achievements, future priorities and the City’s financial position at the end of 2022.

Highlights from 2022 include the completion of key projects, such as the highly anticipated Bettie Allard YMCA in Burquitlam and the Maillardville Community Centre, as well as continued improvements to the development application process and construction and planning for recreation facilities. The City was also named  one of B.C.’s Top Employers for the fifth year in a row and was awarded a Tech Trailblazer Award from the 2022 Granicus Digital Government Awards and a Silver Medal for Excellence by the Planning Institute of BC for the Child Care Partnership Strategy.

Some of the work – including ongoing efforts to build a strong financial position through a cautious and methodical approach – has helped to lay the financial foundation that is supporting the City today and in the future.

For participants using a computer/smart phone/tablet, the raise hand feature can be activated by selecting the raise hand button found in Webinar Controls. For more information on using the raise hand feature, and to see what the feature looks like on the various platforms, please consult this help article at the Zoom support website.
