Region of Peel wins
CAnFR Award
By Penny Mittal
There are many people at the Region
of Peel who work tirelessly behind the scenes
to produce award-winning documents and projects.
Here at the Region, employees take pride in their
accomplishments and the high level of service
they provide.
One example of this is the team of employees
in the Finance department who worked to produce
the 2001 annual financial report. This past March,
the Region of Peel was honoured to receive the
Canadian Award for Financial Reporting (CAnFR)
from the Government Finance Officers Association
of the United States and Canada (GFOA) for its
comprehensive 2001 annual financial report.
“I feel satisfied that we achieved our goal
and received recognition from a professional organization,”
says Mike Grey, Financial Analyst, Accounting Services.
It is no surprise a highly skilled and dedicated
group of individuals received this highest form
of recognition at the Region. Grey, part of the
winning team, adds the group is a strong one because
its members are a “cohesive and responsive
group of individuals working as a team to achieve
common goals and objectives.”
