City streamlining its asset management program

"Kudos to the City of Nanaimo for implementing a new management system to manage community assets in a cost-effective manner. Improvements in efficiency will not only reduce costs for the city, it will help ensure the community continues to benefit from public infrastructure investments now and into the future."

"Council is committed to cost-effective service delivery to the community. I applaud City staff for this innovative project, which will bring all asset management tracking activities into one central place, saving time and, in turn, reducing costs. Thanks to funding from the Canada Community-Building Fund, this project is off to a great start!"

"Asset management is more important for B.C. local governments than ever before. The Canada Community Building Fund is providing support for projects like Nanaimo’s to strengthen the asset management practices and build community resiliency. This is a project that will provide long-term benefits and I congratulate the City in moving ahead to implementation."

"CAMS will replace and unify multiple systems into a single map-based system, making tracking assets and maintenance work more efficient for all City departments. This will help ensure our citizens get maximum value out of significant investments made in public infrastructure over past decades - and ensure future services are financially sustainable. The goal is to improve data collection, mapping, management and analysis for infrastructure maintenance and investment planning, and for decision making."
