Understanding Asset Management

Asset Management is a process to guide spending decisions. It is all about making the right investment on the right asset at the right time at the lowest possible cost.

To do this right, we must:

  • Know what we have
  • Measure how well what we have is performing
  • Take care of what we have it so it lasts
  • Prioritize and plan for both what we have now and what we will have in the future

These services depend on physical infrastructure assets such as water treatment plants, roads, storm sewers, buildings, vehicles and natural assets such as wetlands and trees. The cost to replace these assets is estimated to be $3.7 billion.

In the ongoing development of a financing strategy, the goal is to ensure a high quality of life for both current and future generations, aligning with Thunder Bay's vision of becoming a vibrant and dynamic community that grows together.

Your perspective is crucial in this process. We invite you to share your thoughts through a series of short surveys. The feedback you provide will significantly shape the plan, priorities, and strategies for future service levels. Your input is instrumental in ensuring that the City of Thunder Bay continues to provide services that effectively meet the needs of the community.
