Long-time District of Invermere employee and current director of Finance Karen Cote and City of Cranbrook municipal clerk Marnie Dueck have been awarded local government achievement certificates.

The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development made the announcement July 13, that 11 local government employees from communities across B.C. were being recognized for their education and work experience in the local government field by the provincial Board of Examiners.

Both Cote and Dueck received certificates in Local Government Service Delivery.

According to the ministry, on average, only 25 local government certificates are awarded annually to individuals in municipalities, regional districts, and improvement districts around B.C., including the City of Vancouver. Candidates qualify based on their experience and mandatory education criteria determined by the Board of Examiners.

“B.C. communities are supported by the commitment of dedicated public servants every day. The individuals recognized by the Board of Examiners demonstrate a commitment to excellence that can make all British Columbians proud,” stated Ida Chong, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.
