On June 2-4, ICPI Director of Engineering Robert Bowers participated in the 2022 Federation of Canadian Municipalities Annual Meeting and Tradeshow in Regina, SK.
The event drew approximately 1,100 mayors and councillors from communities across Canada. Representatives from Barkman Concrete Products and Oldcastle APG Canada West helped staff the tradeshow booth during the event. Staff used the opportunity to highlight the recently released report, “Comparison of Life-Cycle Maintenance and Rehabilitation Costs for Typical Pavement Systems.” This report highlighted the fact that pavers cost less to maintain than typically used asphalt and concrete pavement. Staff also had the chance to present the information during a session in the Connect Lab on the tradeshow floor.
On June 4, ICPI hosted the 2022 FCM Paver Reception. Nearly 30 mayors and councillors attended. As a follow up to the leads collected at the show, staff emailed a link to the Pavement Maintenance report and information to access other ICPI resources appropriate for use by government agencies.
