CNAM Tereo Asset Management Awards
2013 Tereo Award Recipient - The City of Ottawa
The City of Ottawa was recognized with the Tereo Asset Management
Award at the 2013 Canadian Network of Asset Managers (CNAM) Conference held in Edmonton, Alberta. The award was presented to the City of Ottawa during the Annual Awards Gala on May 7, 2013 in recognition of the advancements made by the City in developing its Comprehensive Asset Management Program.
For the past decade, the City of Ottawa has been applying asset management principles to the management of its physical assets. 2012 marked a key milestone for the City when City Council adopted a Comprehensive Asset Management (CAM) Program. This represented the culmination of years of efforts to bring integration across all departments and adopt a true corporate approach to the management of the City’s assets, valued at well over $30 billion.
“Tereo” is a Greek word meaning to guard, to care for, to watch over – is a multidisciplinary approach to obtaining maximum economic benefit from physical assets.
