ISC - Material & Assets Management Directorate

Welcome to the MAMD GCwiki page

The Material and Asset Management Directorate (MAMD) is responsible for the efficient and sustainable management of the department's movable assets, furniture, equipment, and vehicles. Our team ensures that material resources are administered in compliance with Treasury Board policies and directives, while supporting the operational needs of departmental sectors.
