It's tough to make decisions about maintaining, replacing and repairing municipal infrastructure. You have to weigh your community's budgetary needs against critical services such as roads, arenas, bridges, drinking water and wastewater systems. To make good decisions, you need accurate data. You also need to know how your community may grow and how changing weather patterns could affect your assets. 

The Municipal Asset Management Program (MAMP) was an eight-year $110-million program, delivered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and funded by the Government of Canada. From 2017 and 2024, MAMP supported 2,773 communities across the country in evolving their asset management competencies, skills and knowledge and improving service delivery to residents. 

By providing funding, resources, guides and training, MAMP fostered significant advancements in municipal asset management practices. MAMP emphasized the value of knowledge-sharing and equipped local governments with the tools necessary for effective planning and risk management, empowering municipalities to provide residents with more reliable services.
