Municipalities have always been good at doing more with less and FPEIM has a program to help. We have partnered with Rural Municipalities of Alberta and several of our sister associations across Canada to combine the purchasing power of municipalities. This buying group has recently been rebranded to form the Canoe Procurement Group of Canada. The result is an extensive list of products – from pens to playground equipment to fire trucks – at outstanding prices, and the program uses local suppliers whenever possible. Everything has been tendered and is compliant with trade agreements. This reduces the administrative burden for municipalities on big purchases and you get your order sooner. This exciting program is available to FPEIM members free of charge, so sign up today and start saving! If you have questions, check out the frequently asked questions or contact Jesse Patenaude at jesse@canoeprocurement.ca.

A webinar entitled “Legal and Procurement Update” was held on May 4, 2021. Raman Khadra, General Counsel, was the presenter. The video of this webinar is available here.
