Ontario receives $850 million for community building
Yesterday the federal government announced that Ontario has received over $850 million through the new federal Canada Community-Building Fund for the 2021–22 fiscal year, along with a top-up of more than $816 million. This top-up more than doubles the amount of money that Ontario communities received through the program in 2020-21. The money goes towards infrastructure priorities such as the City of Richmond Hill’s new Oak Ridges Library and the Town of Grimsby shoreline protection. Fire halls and fire station infrastructure have been added as an investment category for the program.
