Capital Planning Today

Join us in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia for Capital Planning Today, a one-day User Forum for VFA customers.  Share insights, review product direction, and participate in interactive roundtable discussions.

Our featured speakers will include VFA users such as Marcel Gingras from the Canadian Department of National Defence, who use the collected asset data as the basis for the implementation of a long-term capital project planning tool.

Richard Moen and Effie Makris from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health will talk about how the Ministry responded to a mandate to help each Regional Authority evaluate facility condition and develop a 10-year capital plan. You’ll also hear from the Vancouver School Board about its analysis of the current state of sustainability and the future potential in the district.
