This workshop provides an opportunity for staff at municipalities in Northwest Ontario to share progress and challenges with their asset management in compliance with O.Reg. 588/17 (Asset Management Planning for Municipal Infrastructure). This workshop features presentations about the asset management journeys at the City of Thunder Bay and City of Kenora. The lessons and challenges discussed would be common to municipalities of all sizes. As well, a new climate resilience tool/resource will be introduced that will be of interest to all municipalities. This meeting is intended to be - as much as reasonably possible in a virtual environment - an opportunity to share and network with fellow staff working in asset management at NW Ontario municipalities.
The intention of this workshop is to facilitate discussion and networking among staff at northwest Ontario municipalities at various stages of their asset management journeys.
