No two municipalities are alike – which means communities across Canada need different asset management training options that are close to home and specific to their needs.
That’s why FCM has selected 22 partner organizations from across the country to receive $3.6 million in grant funding to design and deliver local asset management training to Canadian municipalities. Through this initiative, Canadian cities and communities of all sizes will be able to access more than 60 training activities between September 2017 and June 2018.
These activities, such as workshops and conferences, are designed to enable communities to develop or further their asset management programs. The goal is to help communities develop the skills to take asset management from theory to practice, so they can optimize delivery of the services that residents need and want at costs they can afford.
