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, David Myles, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages and to the Secretary of State and Member of Parliament for Fredericton-Oromocto, and his Worship Steve Hicks, Mayor of the City of Fredericton, announced a federal investment up to $6 million, and a municipal contribution of $9 million, for the retrofit of the Fredericton Indoor Pool through the Direct Delivery stream of the Build Communities Strong Fund.
Funding will support upgrades to the indoor pool by replacing aging mechanical, circulation, and filtration systems, as well as worn pool and deck finishes. The project will also improve the building's heating and ventilation system, roof insulation, windows and doors, and pool tiles. These upgrades will extend the facility's lifespan, improve energy efficiency and make the pool more accessible and inclusive for seniors, youth, and persons with disabilities.
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.
