Across Canada, property tax variations and loss of user fees have led to budget uncertainty, which is impacting the decision-making ability of municipal leaders. Watch this replay of our May 26 webcast to hear panelists Jeff Fielding, former municipal CAO / City Manager / CAO, and Colliers Project Leaders’ Chuck Brady discuss how cost constrained local governments are keeping pace with needed routine infrastructure upgrades and capital programs, while also planning for new community services.

We know that leading successful municipal projects means balancing the interests of council, the public, and facility staff.
Hear what some of our clients have to say about working with our team:
Ontario Provincial Offences Courthouse Consolidation
The City of Burlington started a project in 2017 to consolidate its two Provincial Offences courthouses. The new building reflects the virtues of the Ontario justice system in its design, blending both strength and transparency in this secure facility.
A successful manager demonstrates good communications skills, a collaborative approach, and a focus on finding solutions that are technically feasible while accommodating the needs and concerns of all stakeholders. Colliers Project Leaders has demonstrated all these qualities and I have developed a great deal of faith in them and their ability to steer the Central Library towards the intended goal.”
Port Lands Flood Protection and Enabling Infrastructure Project
The Port Lands Flood Protection and Enabling Infrastructure Project is a $1.25 billion program that will revitalize 800-acres of flood prone land. The program will improve quality of life, revitalize nature at the underused industrial site, and protect local neighbourhoods from extreme weather.
This large and complex project presented the City of Kelowna with many challenges. Colliers Project Leaders was retained early on in the process to provide guidance and leadership to execution of the project. Their project manager’s expertise and professionalism was essential to successfully procuring a design-build contractor and leading the project through the design development phases. His project management skills and attention to detail played a critical role in the timely delivery of a successful facility.”
