Plant Engineering and Maintenance Association of Canada
PEMAC is a national not for profit association providing global leadership, education and certification in world class maintenance,
reliability and physical asset management practices.
Learn
Over the last 20 years our focus has been on the development and growth of our signature Maintenance Management Professional Certificate program. We are dedicated to remaining leaders in education and certification and are currently working on that important question, "What's Next?" for continuing professional development in the field of maintenance, reliability and physical asset management.
"Through concepts such as the 'Maintenance Maturity Grid' the MMP Program really helped me to analyze where we are as a team and where we need to go to achieve maintenance excellence. I think this is the key to being able to call myself maintenance professional. In addition, having a clear understanding of the relationships between Maintenance, Operations, Human Resources and Finance really helps our team work together with others to create a good strategy with priorities based on return on investment for the company."

The next conferences will be held at the Sheraton Cavalier in Calgary, Alberta. November 18th - 21st, 2013.
Chapter Activities
Through participation at Chapter events you can meet people who do a similar job to you for another company or in another industry and get a fresh view point on challenges you are currently facing. In addition, if you are looking for work or looking for new team members, Chapter events are a great way to connect with people and companies with a view to professionalism.
Training Events
Education and training is also a great networking opportunity. Many participants in the Maintenance Management Professional Certifice program state that meeting and learning with other professionals was one of the key benefits of taking an MMP course.

Vancouver Meet and Greet
We tried the "Meet and Greet" format successfully again in Burnaby this week to give our members in the BC Lower Mainland a chance to get together and talk about setting up a Chapter.
This time we came away with a formal Chapter application from the group to be presented at the next meeting of the Board of Directors... and a photo of the historic occasion. This group is excited about working together to provide further networking and learning opportunities for their region in the future.

SK Meet and Greet
13 people came out to a Saskatoon 'meet and greet' last night to get to know each other and discuss the possibility of forming a Chapter.
There was a great deal of passion about Maintenance and Reliability in that room together with interest in working together to transform ourselves and our organizations. Almost all who attended are already engaged in the MMP program and are very interested in working to promote it further in Saskatchewan as one of the tools for individual and organizational improvement.
But we also talked about the future. What's next for PEMAC? Besides training and conferences what else is needed? What is the role of the association and the potential role of the Chapter? The founding members created the MMP program, what could we do starting from today?
Watch for the formation of a Saskatchewan Chapter that begins to work on these, and other questions!
The only regret? No photo of this historic moment for PEMAC for the archives!
