Saskatchewan Communities can Apply for up to $525.9 Million IN Funding to Support Green Infrastructure PROJECTS

The Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) will provide $900 million in federal funding for infrastructure projects in Saskatchewan. The program will benefit residents by providing a cleaner environment, improved drinking water, wastewater and stormwater systems, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and enhanced public parks, recreational facilities and other spaces that make communities great places to live. It will also benefit businesses by improving transportation and digital infrastructure for people living in remote communities.

The Green Infrastructure Stream will support GHG reductions, enable greater resilience infrastructure and adaptation to the impacts of climate change, ensure that more communities can provide clean air and safe drinking water for their citizens, and decrease the release of pollutants into the environment.
