Another 59 Green Infrastructure Projects and $14.6 Million Invested in Alberta Communities
Edmonton, Alberta – Albertans will see $14.6 million invested in 59 new community infrastructure projects through the Infrastructure Canada-Alberta Program (ICAP). These projects will benefit 51 communities across central and northern Alberta by modernizing water and wastewater systems and cutting energy consumption through energy efficiency upgrades.
The Honourable Anne McLellan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, on behalf of the Honourable Stephen Owen, Minister of Western Economic Diversification and Minister of State (Sport) made the announcement with the Honourable Dr. Lyle Oberg, Alberta Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation.
"The projects announced today are strong examples of ICAP's focus on improving community infrastructure," said Minister McLellan. "Meeting provincial and municipal priorities such as modernizing water systems and improving energy efficiency is integral to enhancing community infrastructure and protecting our environment."
"These projects will improve the quality of life for residents and represent what's important to individual Alberta communities," said Minister Oberg. "We will continue to work with municipal and federal governments to respond to the needs of Alberta communities."
Project highlights include the construction of a water distribution system and wastewater collection system in Sturgeon County and the installation of a water reservoir in the Town of St. Paul.
Under ICAP, the federal and provincial governments provide up to two-thirds of the funding for eligible project costs. Partnering communities or private partners provide the remaining one-third of project funding. In Alberta, ICAP is implemented by Western Economic Diversification Canada and Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation, and is administered by a joint secretariat. The federal and provincial governments together will invest $7.99 million towards the $14.6 million announced today. The proponents will invest the remaining $6.65 million.
To date, 790 projects have been announced in Alberta under this partnership program. With these projects, ICAP has exceeded its target of investing at least $508 million in federal, provincial and municipal funding toward municipal infrastructure in urban and rural communities across the province.
The ICAP Management Committee approves the projects and is composed of representatives from the governments of Canada and Alberta, the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) and the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties (AAMD&C).
"The Infrastructure Canada-Alberta Program is a good example of a working partnership between all three levels of government," said Dorothy Moore on behalf of the AUMA. "The infrastructure needs of municipalities have never been greater. ICAP's versatile three-way partnership addresses infrastructure needs in all sizes of municipalities."
"The funding support offered by ICAP allows our member municipalities to take on needed infrastructure improvements," said Eugene Wauters on behalf of the AAMD&C. "Infrastructure is a high priority for municipal districts and counties."
The Infrastructure Canada-Alberta Program agreement was signed October 10, 2000. Federal funding for this initiative was provided for in Budget 2005.

Factsheet
Partnership Program
- The Infrastructure Canada-Alberta Program (ICAP) is a partnership involving federal, provincial and municipal governments that also allows for private-sector participation. All three levels of government played an important part in the design of this program.
- Under ICAP, the federal and provincial governments can provide up to two-thirds of the funding for eligible costs. Partnering communities or private partners in the program provide the remaining project funding. For the 790 projects and $591 million approved to-date since June 8, 2001, federal and provincial contributions total approximately $331.14 million.
- In Alberta, the program is implemented by Western Economic Diversification Canada and Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation, and is administered by a joint secretariat.
Grassroots Driven
- ICAP is designed with a bottom-up approach. Accordingly, municipalities play an important role in the program. The majority of projects will address local infrastructure needs identified by the municipalities.
- The federal and provincial governments may also propose projects to ensure that regional projects involving more than one municipality are not overlooked.
Program Priorities
- ICAP's first priority is "green" municipal infrastructure. Green infrastructure includes projects related to water and wastewater systems, water management, solid waste management and recycling, and capital expenditures to retrofit or improve the energy efficiency of buildings and facilities owned by local municipalities.
- The ICAP agreement specifies that a minimum 40 per cent of the total value of all approved projects must be invested in green municipal infrastructure.
- Secondary priorities include local transportation, cultural and recreational facilities, infrastructure supporting tourism, rural and remote telecommunications, high-speed Internet access for local public institutions and affordable housing.
To ensure the infrastructure needs of rural communities are considered, a minimum 26 per cent of total approved costs for all projects in Alberta must be invested in projects proposed by rural municipalities.
