Boosting Canadas Strength: Support for Womens Soccer

Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada

Building a strong Canada starts with investing in the modern and reliable infrastructure that makes it possible to increase housing supply and create resilient communities.

The Build Communities Strong Fund is investing $51 billion in a wide range of infrastructure projects across the country that support economic prosperity, housing, sport, education, health, transit, and climate adaptation.

The federal government is investing more than $2.1 million in a new soccer facility and upgrades to the Ralph Cantafio Soccer Complex through the Direct Delivery stream of the Build Communities Strong Fund.

The investment will support the construction of a professional-grade modular stadium for Northern Super League (NSL) matches, high-level soccer, and community events, while continuing to support Winnipeg Soccer Federation programming and creating a lasting community asset for athletes, families, and residents. It will also help position Winnipeg to welcome an NSL club as Canada's professional women's soccer league expands.

The Build Communities Strong Fund is a cornerstone of the Government of Canada's plan to build the infrastructure needed to build Canada strong - today and for generations to come.
