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.
To that end, Parliamentary Secretary Jaime Battiste and Warden Nicholas MacInnis announced a federal investment of more than $560,000 in extending municipal water, wastewater, and stormwater systems in the Municipality of the County of Antigonish through the Direct Delivery stream of the Build Communities Strong Fund.
In partnership with the Antigonish Affordable Housing Society (AAHS), this project will involve the construction of a new road and sidewalk and the extension of municipal water, wastewater, and stormwater systems to enable the development of 150 new affordable housing units. The new housing developments will include four units for individuals with intellectual disabilities and 10 supportive housing units.
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.
