Investing in Canada’s infrastructure advances our nation’s productivity, increases its competitiveness and enriches the quality of life for all Canadians.
Infrastructure Canada coordinates Building Canada—federal government investments in important national and local infrastructure projects for building a stronger, safer and better Canada. Delivering sustainable infrastructure such as highways, water treatment and wastewater plants, public transit, and green energy is essential to competing internationally and supporting the well-being of Canadians—in communities big and small. Strategic infrastructure drives new business and expands existing ones, encourages immigration, retains young people, and draws our family and friends back home.
Infrastructure Canada is also contributing to leading-edge public policy and decision-making through collaborative efforts in developing a knowledge base and research networks relating to infrastructure. Managing infrastructure program funds and working with federal partners, provinces, territories, municipalities and others to meet the infrastructure needs of all Canadians are ways that Infrastructure Canada is helping to build a stronger, safer and healthier nation.
Together with Transport Canada and 16 Crown corporations, Infrastructure Canada forms part of a larger Transport, Infrastructure and Communities (TIC) portfolio. |
