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 Sean Casey and Mayor Philip Brown announced a federal investment of more than $199,000 in the Cody Banks Arena retrofits project through the Direct Delivery stream of the Build Communities Strong Fund.
The project will upgrade the facility by installing heat pumps and a solar photovoltaic system, which will be integrated into the City's existing building automation system.
These upgrades will reduce energy consumption and emissions while providing a more environmentally friendly space for community and recreational use.
Once it is underway, the project will support local community recreation infrastructure, economic development, and promote renewable energy adoption across the City of Charlottetown.
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.
