BOX70 4902 - 50 STREET r VEGREVILLE, AB T9C 1 R1 WildeandCompany TELEPHONE (780) 632-3673 TOLL FREE 1-800-808-0998 ,__ _ __ Chartered Professional Accountants FAX (780) 632-6133 E-MAIL [email protected] INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Mayor and Council of Town of Bonnyville r We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Town of Bonnyville, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2017 and the consolidated statements of r- operations, change in net financial assets, and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness r of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Town of Bonnyville as at December 31, 2017 and the results of its operations, change in net financial assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards.

  • Transmission Reinforcement in the Central East (Cold Lake, Vegreville and Provost) Area
    Transmission Reinforcement in the Central East (Cold Lake, Vegreville and Provost) Area For more information please contact the AESO at 1-888-866-2959, www.aeso.ca or [email protected] Who is the AESO? Alberta’s transmission system, also referred to as the Alberta Interconnected Electric System (AIES), is planned and operated by the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO). The transmission system is comprised of the high-voltage lines, towers and equipment (generally 69 kV and above) that transmit electricity from generators to lower voltage systems that distribute it to cities, towns, rural areas and large industrial customers. Our job is to maintain safe, reliable and economic operation of the provincial transmission grid. Where is the AESO’s planning study region? The AESO’s planning study region runs from Cold Lake south through the Battle River, Wainwright and Vegreville areas, and east to the Provost area. The Central East region also covers Lloydminster, at the border with Saskatchewan. Larger communities in this region include Cold Lake, Bonnyville, Vermilion, Kitscoty, Lloydminster, St. Paul, Elk Point, Vegreville, Wainwright, Hardisty, Sedgewick, Strome, Jarrow, Edgerton, Castor, and Killarney Lake. Why is transmission development required in the Central East (Cold Lake, Vegreville and Provost) area? Transmission system reinforcement is needed in the study region to meet growing demand for electricity from oil sands development and pipelines, and to interconnect proposed gas fired electricity generation as well as wind farms in the study region. The AESO has received applications to interconnect over 500 megawatts (MW) of wind power and natural gas generation projects in Central East Alberta.
