The Clean Water and Wastewater Fund and the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund will address key infrastructure priorities with a focus on repairing and upgrading existing facilities and assets.
Additional projects will be prioritized by the province for funding under each of these funds in the coming months.
Clean Water and Wastewater Fund
