Shining a Spotlight on Asset Management Excellence

One of the key award categories, Excellence in Asset Management, honours local governments that have demonstrated outstanding stewardship of public assets. Whether it’s infrastructure improvements, innovative maintenance strategies, or long-term planning initiatives, this award highlights best practices in managing community resources efficiently and sustainably.

Past winners include the City of Kelowna’s ‘Enterprise Asset Management System Implementation’, which set a benchmark for integrating asset management solutions. If your local government has developed a project that enhances asset performance, sustainability, and cost efficiency, now is the time to get recognized!

Other Award Categories

In addition to Excellence in Asset Management, UBCM will recognize projects that excel in the following categories:

  • Excellence in Governance – Showcasing effective decision-making and leadership.
  • Excellence in Service Delivery – Recognizing innovative and efficient public services.
  • Excellence in Sustainability – Highlighting environmental responsibility and resilience.

How to Apply

All UBCM members, including local governments and First Nations, are eligible to submit one application per category. Winners will be announced during the 2025 UBCM Convention, where all delegates are invited to attend the awards ceremony.
