The Government of Canada is delivering over $33.4 million to Newfoundland and Labrador this year to create communities that are stronger and more connected.
Our communities can only grow to support more housing and realize their full economic potential when there are investments in foundational infrastructure projects - like public transit, water systems, and local roads and bridges. With today's announcement, that is exactly what the Government of Canada is delivering on.
With the funding announced today, communities can build both the essential and recreational infrastructure that allows families in Canada to thrive.
For example, in Portugal Cove-St. Philip's, over $2 million in CCBF funding has been used to upgrade the town's wastewater treatment plant and local roads, providing residents with the necessary infrastructure for clean water and safe commutes.
The Canada Community-Building Fund provides communities with the flexibility to strategically address present and future infrastructure needs.
