Climate and Asset Management: Two Challenges, One Solution

Join our workshop on how to future-proof infrastructure plans in an age of uncertainty

Municipalities are on the front line of dealing with an increasing variety - and severity - of climate threats. Resilient infrastructure is a key piece of the solution.

Municipal infrastructure is under pressure. Hundred-year rainfall events, increasing freeze-thaw cycles, droughts, fires — climate risks are changing how our infrastructure performs and how long it lasts.

That’s why we’re inviting Ontario municipal employees, including finance officers, asset managers, and senior administrators for an immersive two half-day workshop, Climate and Asset Management: Two Challenges, One Solution.

This interactive, small-group course will explore:

  • How climate change impacts infrastructure lifecycle performance

  • Innovative and practical asset management techniques for municipalities

  • Regulatory and industry trends shaping future planning

  • Real-world case studies from across Canada

Whether you're revising your AMP or taking the next step in climate adaptation planning, this workshop provides practical tools and insights to strengthen your asset management system and build long-term resilience.
