The Government of Canada is using every tool at its disposal, leveraging technology, innovation and partnerships, to build homes at scale.
To that end, Kent MacDonald, Member of Parliament for Cardigan; the Honourable Rob Lantz, Premier of Prince Edward Island; the Honourable Kent Dollar, Minister of Housing and Communities; and His Worship Danny Kelly, Mayor of Morell, announced a joint investment of more than $398,000 through the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF) to upgrade the sewage pumping station and associated network of pipes that will create the capacity needed to build additional homes in Morell.
Project funding will support the rehabilitation of the pumping station by replacing pumps and piping, improving mechanical systems and ensuring the facility can operate reliably year-round. This upgraded system will improve service for residents and allow the construction of at least 50 additional homes.
These types of important infrastructure projects support the Government of Canada's goal to address the housing crisis, and complement the work of Build Canada Homes, a new federal agency that will build affordable homes, support builders with financing, and encourage better building methods. This investment also supports ""Building Together" - Prince Edward Island Housing Strategy 2024-2029".
Together, we will make housing more affordable by unleashing the power of public-private cooperation, catalysing a modern housing industry, and creating new careers in the skilled trades.
