Asset Management in Indigenous Communities: Guy Felio

Webinar Overview: 

Indigenous communities (also referred as First Nations) are often unique forms of local government as they are not only responsible for municipal-type services (water, wastewater, roads, recreational facilities, fire protection, police services, etc.) but also for housing, healthcare, education, and justice amongst others. They may effectively be required to provide services that other members of the public obtain from several levels of government.

Another characteristic of Indigenous communities is the fact they are typically small (for example, in Canada, out of 634 communities, two only have populations of more than 10,000 members; 7 have more than 5,000 members). They may also be remote, with limited access which sometimes can be by air only.

Against this backdrop, the presentation explores how asset management, particularly aligned with ISO 55000 standards, can support Indigenous communities in their asset-related planning and decision-making. Examples of building awareness and capacity, the development of asset management plans, and the definition of levels of service from First Nations in Canada will be used to illustrate the process of implementing asset management in Indigenous communities.
