comprehensive national compensation survey.
The resulting survey report provides base salary (showing a full wage range) non-salary

BOMA Position: Infrastructure
Infrastructure and its Impact on the Commercial Real Estate Industry
The following outlines a statement of infrastructure principles to guide BOMA Manitoba
in establishing specific policy and advocacy objectives. The advocacy agenda includes
influencing infrastructure spending in Manitoba as it applies to the BOMA membership
and the commercial real estate industry in general.

As the work of BOMA members results in extensive direct and indirect economic impacts,
the association believes that it lends a strong and credible voice for future budget/
infrastructure consultations.

Guiding Principles:
1. BOMA defines infrastructure as roads (regional, local and lanes), sidewalks, bridges,
transit facilities, parks, riverbanks, flood protection, municipal buildings (including
police and fire/paramedic facilities, libraries, pools, arenas, community centres,
administration buildings), water and sewage facilities and land drainage facilities.
2. BOMA believes that a concerted effort to maintain and enhance municipal
infrastructure is a driver of economic productivity and competitiveness in our cities,
and improves the standard of living for all citizens. As such, BOMA supports a careful
planning process for infrastructure development and spending, and a long-term/
forward thinking view taken by city planners and developers.
