FEATURED CONSULTANTS
muniSERV provides a searchable database of Canadian consultants and professionals that assist municipalities. Here’s some of our reputable consultants.
 
 
   

OSUM, FONOM, OMAA & AORS
 

As some of you know, over the past 3 months we have been out at three municipal conferences – Ontario Small Urban Municipalities, Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities, the Ontario Municipal Administrators’ Association – and the Association of Ontario Road Superintendents’ Tradeshow.

It has been busy times, but we enjoyed meeting and chatting with you – plus you gave us some great ideas for features you would like to see on muniSERV that would assist you in your day-to-day work. We truly value your opinions and we’re already busy investigating how we can make some of them happen.

Acquiring these suggestions was very timely because we are working on a refresh of the muniSERV website throughout this year, which will include the development of a separate new landing page for municipalities. This will provide us with more space for more of the features you’ve asked for.

Even if you didn’t get talking to us at any of these conferences or the tradeshow, we would still like your opinion on any features you might like to have incorporated into this new “municipal page”. So please feel free to send us your comments and suggestions for this new page directly to me [email protected]
