Municipal leaders and their teams are invited to register for a new course that is being offered through the Municipal Asset Management Program (MAMP), which is delivered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and funded by the Government of Canada.

PEMAC and Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), together with a group of subject matter experts, have designed a course that will provide the practical knowledge and skills to optimize asset maintenance management and reliability through the timely provision of resources and effective use of asset data and information.

This six-week live online course begins on September 20 through October 25.

The course results and research findings will be organized into a whitepaper and case study entitled: "Master Data Configuration During Acquisition for Maintenance and Operational Readiness" which will serve as an effective tool for municipal practitioners to utilize.
