The Government of Canada is delivering over $18.7 million to Nunavut this year to create communities that are stronger and more connected.
Our communities can only grow to support more housing when there are investments in foundational infrastructure projects - like sports and recreation facilities, water systems, and local roads and bridges. With today's announcement, that is exactly what the Government of Canada is delivering on.
With the funding announced today, communities can build the essential and recreational infrastructure that allows families in Canada to thrive.
For example, in Rankin Inlet the funding for the Metal Shredder Project will help clean up the community by reducing the amount of metal waste in the landfill. This means the waste site will last longer and work better, helping the hamlet save space and money. It also makes the area safer and more organized for everyone. The project will support better services for residents, protect the land, and help keep Rankin Inlet clean and healthy for future generations.
The Canada Community-Building Fund provides communities with the flexibility to strategically address present and future infrastructure needs.
