In November 2020, the provincial government announced they were initiating a second intake to their Audit and Accountability Fund. Large urban municipalities were able to apply for funding to undertake third party reviews with the goal of finding service delivery efficiencies, while protecting front-line services, which presented the City with a chance to further expand on and review the recommendations received as part of the 2019 Value-Based Outcomes Review.
