Sources & methods
The council bands show who was in office, not who caused the result. Labour markets, retirements, management, restructuring and workplace conditions can all move turnover.

Method notes
- Comparable annual turnover rates were not found in the City's public reports before 2012. Earlier years remain blank, not zero.
- Before 2014, B.C. municipal terms were three years. Election years are assigned to the council in office for most of that calendar year.
- The October 2022 election is marked without treating all of 2022 as the work of the current Council.
- The City later restated the 2014 and 2015 figures to 7% and 6% respectively.
What should be measured next: Keep publishing turnover, vacancies and employee feedback together, then watch whether lower churn produces faster and more predictable delivery.
