“Last year, at our first inaugural City Auction, we had over 300 registered bidders, sold off the vast majority of available assets and even sparked a connection leading to the donation of an auction item to the Royal Inland Hospital to construct a gaming station for pediatric patients,” explained Ray Sison, the City’s Purchasing and Inventory Manager. “The event was a success for the entire community.”
The auction will include close to 100 unclaimed items that have been acquired by the City and the RCMP.

Identified items should be reported to the City’s Planning and Procurement Division at [email protected] and Team Auctions at [email protected], including the following information:
