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, Ginette Lavack, Member of Parliament for Saint-Boniface-Saint-Vital and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indigenous Services, announced a federal investment of more than $5.8 million in the expansion of the regional sewer system in the Rural Municipality of St. Clements through the Direct Delivery stream of the Build Communities Strong Fund.
The project will upgrade the East Selkirk Wastewater Treatment Lagoon by expanding its treatment and capacity, upgrading the system for continuous year-round discharge in compliance with environmental regulations, and constructing a new outfall to the Red River.
These improvements will modernize critical wastewater infrastructure in the RM of St. Clements, support regional growth, help protect the Red River, and provide more resilient wastewater services for residents and neighbouring communities.
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.
