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, Minister Sean Fraser announced a federal investment of more than $2.3 million in the Salem wastewater extension project through the Direct Delivery stream of the Build Communities Strong Fund.
The Salem wastewater extension project in Green Hill, Pictou County, will extend wastewater services to address growing housing and infrastructure needs.
Funding will support planning, design, and construction of the new infrastructure, including a pumping station, ensuring flood resilience and improved wastewater management by extending the linear wastewater services by 1,557 metres and the pressurized sewer pipes will be extended by 2,069 metres.
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.
