Asset Management in British Columbia:

2022 report

UBCM has released a Status of Asset Management in BC report that summarizes results from a survey conducted among Canada Community-Building Fund recipients. Results show a significant improvement in understanding and planning for asset management among BC local governments, which sets them up well in preparation of potential new and expanded asset management requirements to be included in the 2024-2034 Canada Community-Building Fund.

Call for nominations to Asset Management Recognition Awards

The 2023 Asset Management BC ‘OurAssetsMatter’ Recognition Award program is now accepting nominations. The ‘OurAssetsMatter’ Award recognizes the actions of individuals and organizations that demonstrate leadership, passion, and excellence in meeting the vision and mission of Asset Management BC. The award is designed to profile asset management champions who have given back to the community, advanced the industry and/or provided leadership in asset management.

Keeping roadside workers safe

Whenever employees along the roadside, they’re in danger of being struck by passing vehicles, and employers are responsible for their safety. That includes many local governments whose Public Works staff are sometimes on the roadside. WorkSafeBC has launched a new resource to help employers manage their responsibilities.
