Funding to improve water quality and roads in Saskatchewan’s small communities
Backgrounder
The governments of Canada and Saskatchewan will each provide more than $26.9 million toward 46 infrastructure projects across the province under the New Building Canada Plan’s Small Communities Fund (SCF). More than $80.9 million in combined federal, provincial and local community funding will be invested. Funding recipients will be responsible for any remaining costs. The SCF provides support for priority infrastructure projects that deliver on local needs in communities across Canada with fewer than 100,000 residents.
