As part of its commitment to improving the quality of life for all Canadians, the Government of Canada launched a six-year program in 2000 to renew and enhance Canada's physical infrastructure.

With contributions from our provincial, territorial and municipal partners, and the private sector, the Infrastructure Canada Program will generate at least $6 billion in infrastructure investment. Infrastructure Canada is a national program with local impact. It will fund municipal infrastructure projects in thousands of rural and urban communities across Canada.

Infrastructure Canada's first priority is "green" municipal infrastructure - projects that improve the quality of our environment and contribute to our national goals of clean air and water. Priority projects target water and wastewater systems, water management, solid waste management and recycling.

Other program initiatives include local transportation, roads and bridges, affordable housing, telecommunications and tourism, cultural and recreational facilities.

In Atlantic Canada , Infrastructure Canada agreements are in place in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. These agreements are administered by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, on behalf of the Government of Canada, and the four provincial governments.
