Each session will feature a presentation from a subject matter expert, as well as municipal guest speakers who will share their approaches to compliance.
Audience: Whether you are new to the field and looking to understand the basics, or an experienced practitioner seeking advanced strategies, this series will provide valuable insights, practical tips, and real-world case studies applicable to professionals at all levels of expertise within infrastructure asset management. The content, tools, and templates are designed to support municipalities of all sizes.
New Resource! Simplified Levels of Service Toolkit
The simplified Levels of Service (LOS) Toolkit has been developed to support municipalities that are early in their asset management journey. This toolkit will support users in identifying and documenting current and proposed LOS and performance targets, in compliance with Ontario’s Asset Management Planning for Municipal Infrastructure regulation (O.Reg.588/17).
This toolkit is a complement to our more detailed, class specific LOS Toolkits, which are available upon request.
Because facilities are particularly complex, a separate Simplified Toolkit has been created specifically for Facilities.

Session 3: Lifecycle Management & Financial Strategy (March 27, 2025)
Risk and levels of service drive your lifecycle management activities—when to take action, what kind of action, and how to monitor the impacts of that action. Each of these actions have financial implications that must be taken into account in your asset management planning and capital budgeting in order to ensure sustainable service delivery. Join us to learn about costing methodologies, performance monitoring strategies and lifecycle activities to enable development of a lifecycle management plan and financial strategy that meets O. Reg 588/17 2025 requirements.
