Government of Canada is investing $145,600 in communities across the Sea to Sky Corridor through the Municipal Asset Management Program (MAMP), which is delivered by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities on behalf of the federal government, the federal MP for region announced.
The funding will help residents of the Sea to Sky with improved asset management planning and long-term financial modeling.
The MAMP aims to strengthen infrastructure investment decisions based on reliable data and sound asset management practices through asset management training, funding and information sharing. These projects will help communities make data-driven decisions about key infrastructure and ensure long-term infrastructure performance, MP Patrick Weiler said.
“We are proud to be investing in infrastructure planning in communities throughout the Sea to Sky Corridor,” said Patrick Weiler, Member of Parliament, West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country. “The past few months have reinforced the importance of having public infrastructure that will support long-term sustainability and create healthy communities where all residents can thrive. The Municipal Asset Management Program provides tools and training to help local governments make sound, data-driven decisions about their investments, ultimately leading to better results for all residents,”
