Infrastructure Projects main page Investing in Canada Plan Infrastructure Budget 2018: A Strong Middle Class

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and the Department of National Defence continuously maintain and upgrade military infrastructure across Canada. Every year, millions are invested in buildings, roads, military housing, runways, etc. The infrastructure portfolio includes approximately:

  • 20,000 buildings;
  • 2.1 million hectares of land (almost four times the landmass of Prince Edward Island);
  • 5,500 km of roads (roughly the distance between Calgary and Halifax); and
  • 3,000 km of water, storm and sewer pipes (roughly the distance between Ottawa and Saskatoon).

Major construction and renovation projects are underway, along with ongoing repairs and upgrades to infrastructure at bases and wings. We are investing in new facilities and jetties, and upgrades and renovations to armouries, airfields, hangers and infrastructure in Canada’s North.

Sustained improvements to military infrastructure are necessary to provide the women and men of the CAF with the facilities they need to train and operate successfully, well into the future. These infrastructure projects also provide economic opportunities for local communities, which help to create new jobs and opportunities for businesses across the country.

Listed in the table below, under the tab 2011, is a summary of announced infrastructure projects in the current year. You can also learn more about past announcements by exploring projects of the last five years or visit the archives for older announcements. Check back regularly for updates.
