B. Date Last Modified
In 2007, changes in fee structure covered for increase in service costs, inflation, and also to take market into consideration. These changes are within the fee structure that was established prior to March 31, 2004. Published in the Canada Gazette of March 19, 2005 and in local newspapers. For 2008-2009, the difference of $168,000 between planned revenue and actual revenue is due to the increase of park use because of all entertainments and activities related to the 100th and 400th anniversaries.

6.Electronic Link to Internal Audit and Evaluation Plan:


The NBC is audited every year by the Office of the Auditor General, which analyses and verifies our accounting practices to ensure compliance with Government of Canada directives and policies.

Given the scope of the NBC’s mandate and that its structure does not provide for internal auditing, management monitors operations through rigorous follow-up and knowledge of the various operations in each unit.
