Local governments across British Columbia are striving to provide sustainable services to their residents. However, many are not certain how their services are performing today or if they’re prepared for the future. Factors such as scarcity of resources, rising expectations, and aging infrastructure threaten the sustainability of municipal services. The Service Sustainability Assessment Tool (SSAT) was prepared to help local governments identify areas where service sustainability may be threatened, and to provide feedback on practices that contribute to service sustainability.
