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 Patty Hajdu announced a federal investment of over $37,000,000 in the Town of Marathon Active Living Centre through the Direct Delivery stream of the Build Communities Strong Fund.
Located on the downtown waterfront, this 100,000-square-foot, fully accessible and energy-efficient multi-use facility will feature aquatic facilities, arena space, fitness and program areas, and flexible community gathering spaces. Once complete, it will provide nearly 20,000 residents across the region, including members of nearby Indigenous communities, with year-round access to recreational, cultural, and wellness programming.
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.
