The Government of Canada is using every tool at its disposal, leveraging technology, innovation and partnerships, to build infrastructure to support housing.
To that end, Member of Parliament Paul Connors, provincial Minister Pam Parsons, and Mayor Don Coombs announced a joint investment of over $4.4 million through the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF) to improve access to drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure in the Town of Harbour Grace. In total, these investments will upgrade 29 homes from private well and septic systems to public water and sewer systems operated by the municipality.
This project is part of the Government of Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador funding agreement that is paving way for the construction of infrastructure to service current housing stock and build more homes.
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.
