East Gwillimbury (EG) owns and manages a wide range of assets. These include core infrastructure such as roads, bridges, water systems, and wastewater systems, as well as other assets like buildings, vehicles, equipment, and machinery. These assets are essential for delivering services, supporting community programs, and maintaining a high quality of life for residents and businesses.

What is Asset Management?

Asset management is the process of tracking, assessing, and planning for the Town's assets throughout their lifecycle. This includes decisions about purchasing, building, maintaining, repairing, replacing, and eventually disposing of assets. The goal is to ensure assets continue to meet community needs in a cost-effective and sustainable way.

The Canadian Infrastructure Report Card (CIRC) evaluates the condition of municipal infrastructure across Canada and provides information to help municipalities make informed decisions about infrastructure investments and improvements.

Municipal asset management plans must be updated every five years and include annual progress reports to Council.

Ontario Legislation and Regulations

The Infrastructure for Jobs and Prosperity Act, 2015, S.O. 2015, c. 15 helps ensure that infrastructure is planned in a responsible, evidence-based, and long-term way. Its goal is to support job creation, economic growth, environmental protection, and high-quality design in infrastructure projects.

The related regulation O. Reg. 588/17: Asset Management Planning for Municipal Infrastructure outlines requirements for all Ontario municipalities to develop asset management plans. These plans help municipalities manage and maintain infrastructure over the long term to ensure it remains safe, reliable, and sustainable for future generations.
