We are Saskatchewan's first working group dedicated to assisting municipal stakeholders in improving their knowledge and abilities in municipal infrastructure asset management.
OUR APPROACH TO ASSET MANAGEMENT:
There is a lot of information out there about asset management, we’re here to help you take that information and translate it into action in your organization.
Our goal is to share with you everything that you need to know, not everything there is to know. We strive to empower you to achieve 80% of the results with 20% of the effort.
There’s no way around the fact that this journey requires effort and commitment, but we’re confident that you can do the lion’s share of it with your own team and that it doesn’t need to be complicated.
Saskatchewan is unique; we’re made up primarily of small municipalities.
While this doesn’t decrease the urgency or importance of asset management, it does reduce the complexity.
We’ve designed a training course to suit the Saskatchewan requirement.
Statistics on Saskatchewan Municipal Organizations:

OUR RELATIONSHIP TO YOU:
We are a non-profit organization. Our relationship with you is transformational, not transactional.
We’re here to help. We want to empower your independence and your organizational ability to do as much of the work as possible. We want to enable you to do this yourselves, and if external help is needed you go there next, not first.
There is wisdom in the quote “Give a person a fish, and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to fish, and you feed them for a lifetime.” We think this applies to asset management as well.
