CALGARY — Justice infrastructure in Calgary is getting a massive boost.
Alberta has announced plans to invest $36 million into capital maintenance and renewal projects at the Calgary courthouse, old court of appeal building, and correctional and remand centre facilities.
“Building and maintaining justice infrastructure is putting Albertans to work and keeping our communities safe,” said Prasad Panda, infrastructure minister, in a statement. “Building for the future with important upgrades like these is a key component of Alberta’s Recovery Plan – a plan to diversify the economy and create jobs.”
The province added the slate of projects involves vital upgrades and maintenance to existing buildings. Some of the work includes repairing heating, ventilation and air systems, replacing roofs and mechanical system controls, as well as upgrading to new high efficiency boilers.
About $10 million of the project funding is shared between the governments of Canada and Alberta through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program COVID-19 Resilience stream. The province is providing the remaining funding through the Accelerated Capital Maintenance and Renewal Initiative.
