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, MP Mona Fortier, joined by Mayor Mark Sutcliffe, announced a federal investment of more than $30 million to increase the electrical reliability of the Robert O. Pickard Environmental Centre (ROPEC) wastewater treatment plant through the Direct Delivery stream of the Build Communities Strong Fund.
This investment will allow the City to upgrade the plant's electrical distribution systems, including the existing cogeneration plant. These enhancements will provide sufficient power to operate all sewage treatment processes during extended power outages and will prepare the facility for any future upgrades or plant expansions necessary to support the City's growing community.
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.
