On the agenda
As the city filed it
Recently, the Government of Ontario has recognized the need to provide municipalities with further funds that find efficiencies and address important needs. This ad hoc funding does not guarantee that these funds are dedicated to asset management planning. Municipalities of every size and in every region stand to benefit from having funds dedicated to enhancing municipal asset management planning capacity. Only this will ensure that both the Provincial Government and local governments are collecting the data that can be analyzed to generate the insights that will be needed to ensure Ontario has the blend of assets it needs to be competitive in the 21st century global marketplace.

The proposed Municipal Asset Management Planning Regulation is an important step forward. All municipalities require financial assistance to realize all of the advantages that can be accrued by asset management planning.
