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 Gregor Robertson and MP Marie-France Lalonde announced a federal investment of more than $6.3 million in the Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex in Orléans through the Direct Delivery stream of the Build Communities Strong Fund.
The project includes a new full-sized gymnasium that can be divided to accommodate multiple activities, along with a reception and customer service area, accessible change and washroom facilities, equipment storage, and improved accessibility throughout the recreation complex. By creating more inclusive and flexible recreation spaces, this investment will help residents of all ages and abilities stay active, connected, and engaged in their community.
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.
