Backgrounder : Investing across Canada to build safe and strong communities

The Government of Canada is providing more than $63.2 million through the Canada Community-Building Fund for 49 recipients across Nova Scotia in 2025-2026. These funds provide communities with stable and flexible funding for their infrastructure priorities across a wide range of categories. The funding enables local governments to plan for their current and future needs, improve housing supply, and create connected communities.
