Transportation and Infrastructure: Building Canada Fund

Building Canada Fund

The historic Tignish Post Office was extensively renovated with funding through Building Canada Fund, Communities Component.

Prince Edward Island communities can access funding to help put their infrastructure plans into action. In July 2008 federal and provincial governments signed the Communities Component of the Building Canada Fund and officially launched the program.

Through the Communities Component, the federal and provincial governments together will invest $44 million through until 2014, which will help meet the local infrastructure needs and priorities of Prince Edward Island communities. With matching contributions from communities, the total funding made available under the Communities Component could increase to $66 million over the life of the program.

The Communities Component provides funding towards several categories of infrastructure projects, including water, wastewater, local roads and bridges, public transit, green energy, disaster mitigation, sports, culture and tourism. Projects will be selected by a federal-provincial committee through a competitive process.
