Plant Engineering and Maintenance Association of Canada
PEMAC is a national not for profit association providing global leadership, education and certification in world class maintenance,
reliability and physical asset management practices.
Learn
Over the last 20 years our focus has been on the development and growth of our signature Maintenance Management Professional Certificate program. We are dedicated to remaining leaders in education and certification and are currently working on that important question, "What's Next?" for continuing professional development in the field of maintenance, reliability and physical asset management.
"Through concepts such as the 'Maintenance Maturity Grid' the MMP Program really helped me to analyze where we are as a team and where we need to go to achieve maintenance excellence. I think this is the key to being able to call myself maintenance professional. In addition, having a clear understanding of the relationships between Maintenance, Operations, Human Resources and Finance really helps our team work together with others to create a good strategy with priorities based on return on investment for the company."
- Bejoy Mathew, P.Eng, MMP, Planning Manager (Facilities Maintenance and Operation), Suncor Energy Inc., Fort McMurray, Alberta (Pictured Above)

Our Maintenance Management Professional Education & Certification Program is offered by 14 teaching institutions across Canada. Completion of the program leads to the MMP professional designation.

MainTrain Conferences
MainTrain is developed and produced by the Plant Engineering and Maintenance Association of Canada (PEMAC) - Canada's national not-for-profit association providing global leadership, education and certification in world-class maintenance, reliability and asset management practices. The next conferences will be held at the Sheraton Cavalier in Calgary, Alberta. November 18th - 21st, 2013.
Chapter Activities
Through participation at Chapter events you can meet people who do a similar job to you for another company or in another industry and get a fresh view point on challenges you are currently facing. In addition, if you are looking for work or looking for new team members, Chapter events are a great way to connect with people and companies with a view to professionalism.
Training Events
Education and training is also a great networking opportunity. Many participants in the Maintenance Management Professional Certifice program state that meeting and learning with other professionals was one of the key benefits of taking an MMP course.

MainTrain 2013 has new wheels!
We have gotten out of the starting blocks early this year to put together the best conference ever for 2013. By resourcing MainTrain with our own full-time events coordinator (welcome Julie!) we have set our sights on a conference with:
- - a record number of attendees from across Canada and around the world
- - 3 streams of sessions
- - two high-profile keynote addresses
- - new and improved sponsorship and exhibitor packages
- - a custom MainTrain smart-phone ap to improve networking opportunities
- - an exciting spouse's program to help attract national and international attendees
In parallel with MainTrain 2013 PEMAC will be hosting meetings of the Global Forum on Maintenance and Asset Management, giving us access to several high-profile international speakers. Mayor Nenshi has already agreed to open the conference, schedule permitting, by welcoming all conference participants to the great City of Calgary.
We are confident that we can make it all come true and for extra assurance we look forward to the continued help and support of our customers and members. At this point ideas and referrals for sponsors and exhibitors, topics and speakers are most welcome! Join the committee, contact a committee member or contact Julie at events@pemac.org with any ideas or suggestions at any time.

MainTrain 2012 Toronto
We've been having a great time at MainTrain 2012 Toronto!
The premise that 'Evidence Based Asset Management' is the gold standard has been raised, tested and agreed. Ways to achieve it through 'Leadership, People, Process and Technology' have been discussed. Case studies have been presented. Connections with people who are at different places in the process, or who are from different industries, or who are relevant service providers have been formed.
The atmosphere has been electric with new insights and connections and clearly asset-owners from across Canada and around the world are going to benefit significantly from having sent some really key people to this event.
