A Canadian Perspective on Accreditation
“If you wanted to create that new policy or procedure, you would have done it by now!”
Currently, our municipality is in a growth phase and the APWA self-assessment and accreditation program was just
what we needed during this period of renewal and new infrastructure construction. The APWA program has helped us
identify what we do well and more importantly what we can improve upon.
When accreditation was achieved, the self-assessment team felt a great sense of satisfaction as their input directly affects
municipal operations. It demonstrates to the public the Township is serious about creating a culture of continuous
improvement and to challenge existing operating parameters and potentially discover new efficiencies.
In Canada a municipal accreditation program doesn’t exist, but as a member of APWA in Canada, we can take advan-
tage of programs APWA offers. I suggest wherever you are located globally, contact APWA and find out more informa-
tion about the self-assessment process and get going on your accreditation journey!
