View Royal launches online budget tracker

The Chamber applauds a new initiative by the Town of View Royal to make it easier for the public to track the municipality's spending.

View Royal's new budget variance dashboard provides detailed info on operational finances in a number of areas, and allows comparisons of this year's figures to previous years.

“It’s important that the community holds us accountable to stewarding their financial resources and that they receive regular reports on our progress," View Royal's Chief Administrative Officer Kim Anema said in a news release. "By regularly sharing detailed budget information with the community, we aim to build trust with our residents and demonstrate how we work to meet our financial goals.”
