St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

The Government of Canada is committed to providing modern, efficient and sustainable infrastructure to support the delivery of key public services to Canadians.

Today, the Honourable Joël Lightbound, Minister of Government Transformation, Public Works and Procurement and Quebec Lieutenant, announced that the Government of Canada has awarded a $121.6-million contract (HST included) to Pomerleau Inc, for construction of a new federal building to accommodate Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) employees in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.

This new Crown-owned facility, located at 80 Kelsey Drive in St, John's, will feature modern, accessible, purpose-built space to support the CRA's workforce and program delivery in the region.

In line with the Buy Canadian Policy, the contract includes requirements to prioritize Canadian suppliers and materials throughout the project. It will create work opportunities for local trades, which will sustain good-paying careers.

Construction will begin this summer, and is expected to be completed in 2029.

This investment demonstrates the Government of Canada's commitment to strengthening public services, supporting employees, and delivering modern, sustainable infrastructure for Canadians.
