Improving the management of Canada’s infrastructure and other assets is a vital, yet complex, challenge. This paper documents a pioneering approach being undertaken by the Town of Gibsons, in British Columbia, Canada to place nature, and the municipal services that it provides, at the core of the Town’s municipal infrastructure system. The focus is to:
•    Continue developing the practices associated with the Town’s Eco-Asset Strategy
•    Raise awareness and understanding of asset management and the role of eco-assets within Gibsons and beyond
