Backgrounder
Canada and Quebec provide over $29 million for five sports and recreation projects in the Nord-du-Québec region
Joint federal and provincial funding is being allocated to five sports and recreation infrastructure projects, which will be completed in Indigenous communities in the Nord-du-Québec region. These projects include the construction, renovation and expansion of various buildings to improve the longevity and reliability of local infrastructure and promote a healthy and active lifestyle in the communities.
The Government of Canada is investing more than $14 million in these five projects through the Community, Culture and Recreation Infrastructure Stream (CCRIS) of the Investing in Canada program. The Government of Quebec has also allocated more than $14 million to the five projects through its Programme d’aide financière aux infrastructures récréatives et sportives (PAFIRS).
