This report card is already helping us by tracking the impact of the changes we’ve made, measuring our success, and providing the public with regular updates on our progress. We’re proud of the achievements we’ve made this past year, but our work isn’t finished. As we remain committed to transparency and accountability, we will continue to report RECO’s service standards in 2018, and enhance them.
