Backgrounder: Canada and Quebec invest in water infrastructure to ensure adequate services and stimulate the economy in the Montérégie region
Backgrounder
The governments of Canada and Québec are investing in water infrastructure to ensure adequate drinking water services, storm water management and wastewater collection systems, while contributing to economic recovery.
In the Montérégie region, the Government of Canada is investing over $77.5 million for 46 projects through the Green Infrastructure Stream of the Investing in Canada Plan. The Government of Quebec is also investing over $77.5 million through the Fonds pour l'infrastructure municipale d'eau (FIMEAU) funding program. These projects include upgrades to municipal drinking water supply and treatment systems, storm-water management and wastewater collection systems.
