A new ten-year agreement has been signed by the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan for the Canada Community Building Fund, which has funded more than 1,200 road and highway infrastructure projects across the province since 2015.
A joint government news release says other projects include a new raw water pumping facility in Prince Albert and a new arena complex in Wynyard.
In this new agreement, in the first five years, Saskatchewan will receive $350 million to address local infrastructure priorities.
Government Relations Minister Don McMorris says, “”The funding will help our participating communities build and protect critical infrastructure supporting recreational, transit and essential services. ”
Across Canada, the federal government is renewing this funding program and investing $26.7 billion over the next ten years to support core infrastructure projects.
