The selected auditor will be responsible for conducting engagements in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Auditing Standards and Public Sector Accounting Standards (PSAS). Key deliverables include the preparation of consolidated financial statements, reviewing the accounting treatment of the Housing Authority, and providing internal control recommendations. The auditor must meet with the Director of Finance by November 1 annually to establish a schedule, with all engagements completed sufficiently before May 15 to meet statutory Council approval deadlines. Proposals must be submitted electronically by 2:00 PM PDT on October 13, 2026.

Proponents must provide an all-inclusive maximum annual fee and submit a technical proposal including a firm profile, management plan, and a signed proposal form. Successful contractors must provide separate invoices for the Municipality and the Housing Authority, with payments issued within 30 days of receipt.
