5.4 Infrastructure for Growing Communities

Growing communities need to build more infrastructure to build more homes. From water, sewer, and power lines to child care centres, libraries, and parks, liveable communities require major investments to keep growing. The federal government is doing its part and investing in projects in cities and towns across the country to keep Canadians connected—be it broadband internet in our smallest towns or railways to the most remote places.

Reliable transportation systems and resilient public infrastructure improve the lives of Canadians. By supporting the efficient movement of goods and people, our transportation systems drive economic growth and connect communities across the country. And by fostering healthy and liveable communities, public infrastructure, such as public transit systems, water treatment facilities, and cultural centres, helps create communities where people and businesses can thrive.  
The federal government is investing in Canada's transportation systems and public infrastructure to ensure they are safe, reliable, and resilient today, that our goods keep flowing to market, people keep moving, and our economy keeps growing. 

Key Ongoing Actions

• $33.5 billion through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program, to support infrastructure projects in every province and territory across four streams: public transit; green infrastructure; community, culture, and recreation infrastructure; and rural and northern communities infrastructure.
• Public transit programming, including $2.4 billion for the Zero Emission Transit Fund, $400 million for the Active Transportation Fund, and $150 million for the Rural Transit Solutions Fund. Starting in 2026-27, the government will provide $3 billion per year in permanent public transit funding for projects across the country.
• $4.3 billion under the National Trade Corridors Fund to improve the movement of people and goods in Canada, and help Canadian businesses compete in key global markets.
• $3.8 billion through the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund to support projects that are increasing the resilience of communities affected by natural disasters triggered by climate change.
• $1.5 billion under the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings program, which supports green and physically accessible retrofits, repairs, and upgrades of existing public community facilities, and the construction of new publicly-accessible community facilities.
• Escalating annual funding through the Canada Community-Building Fund, which provided $2.4 billion in 2023-24 to cities for 19 different infrastructure categories, such as public transit, drinking water, wastewater, community energy systems, and culture.
• $35 billion to be invested by the Canada Infrastructure Bank in revenue-generating infrastructure projects that are in the public interest across the following sectors: clean power, green infrastructure, public transit, trade and transportation, and broadband.
