Thank you to our members, along with industry and community partners, media, and Government of Alberta representatives, for joining us in Edmonton last week for the AUMA President's Summit on Municipal Finances: Transparent and Effective.
AUMA, in collaboration with RMA and IAMA, have received funding from FCM to develop and deliver group learning cohorts in which participating municipalities will work together to build their asset management capacity.
Over 90 municipalities responded to the Intermunicipal Collaboration Frameworks (ICFs) survey AUMA conducted. Results show that some municipalities are struggling to find the resources and willing partner necessary to progress.
