Today, George Chahal, Member of Parliament for Calgary Skyview and Taneen Rudyk, President of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) announced an investment of $316,253 in eight Saskatchewan communities to support data-driven decisions about key infrastructure and ensure long-term infrastructure performance.

  • The Village of Chaplin is receiving $49,050 to further develop data and information capabilities and organizational processes and frameworks. The project will improve its ability to prioritize and plan its investment needs and address challenges such as aging infrastructure, increasing demand, and climate change impacts.
  • The Rural Municipality of Tecumseh No. 65 is receiving $50,000 to develop an asset management analysis to provide a long-term approach to management of the assets consistent with the asset management plan
  • The Village of Goodsoil is receiving $49,950 to collect information on the roads within its boundary, including lengths, right of way information, and road classification. This information will be entered into an asset registry.

The funding comes from the Municipal Asset Management Program (MAMP). Descriptions for the other projects can be found in the backgrounder.

By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, increasing the resiliency of our communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
