In the territories, CanNor will deliver $22.7 million to support northern communities to build, upgrade, and renew vital local infrastructure
Strong communities depend on strong infrastructure. By supporting high-impact community projects that reflect local priorities, the Government of Canada is taking action to strengthen the local facilities and public spaces that bring people together, while driving regional economic growth and long-term prosperity.
Today, the Honourable Rebecca Chartrand, Minister of Northern and Arctic Affairs and Minister responsible for the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor), announced that CanNor will deliver $22.7 million of the Build Communities Strong Fund - Local Impact Stream over four years. Eligible recipients can now apply for funding for the construction and renewal of community infrastructure in the three territories.
The Local Impact Stream is investing in the heart of Canadian communities-supporting the places where people gather, stay active, play, and celebrate. With funding for projects up to $1 million, the program will help build new community spaces and modernize existing ones through expansions, renovations, retrofits, climate adaptation improvements, and replacements.
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.
