The Honourable Michelle Rempel, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification, was in Victoria today to announce support for five projects benefitting the Victoria area under the Harper Government’s Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF).
In Economic Action Plan 2012, the Harper Government announced further support to help communities across the country modernize their infrastructure. Our Government committed $150 million over two years for the Fund.
The Fund supports projects that look to improve existing community infrastructure accessible for use by the public, such as community centres, recreational buildings, local arenas, cultural and other community facilities.
