“ Municipalities face financial challenges and requirements that mean that treasurers are doing a lot more. In some cases, this involves new skills, including strong communications skills, so treasurers can help council understand the financial implications of what they do or don’ t do.”
– Dan Cowin, Executive Director, Municipal Finance Officers’ Association of Ontario
