The City of Barrie strongly supports improved asset management planning, which is a key component of service delivery and sustainable financial plans.

I do support the implementation of a more comprehensive asset management planning process, although I think that the proposed regulation could be unattainable with the current deadlines for small municipalities and municipalities with resource challenges.

I salute the inclusion of 'green infrastructure' in the definition of 'infrastructure assets'!

It is vital for our communities to acknowledge and quantify the value of green infrastructure so that we can protect what we currently have and increase our inventory if we see gaps.

I support the province’s leadership in developing a regulation for municipal asset management planning. Within this planning, I strongly support and urge the province to integrate green infrastructure planning and management into the regulation.

Recognizing the importance of green infrastructures! An example that should be followed by all the other provinces.
