19 March 2010
Brandon, Manitoba
Canada and Manitoba are working together to create jobs and boost the economy, while making significant investments that help communities improve their infrastructure.The Government of Canada will consider as a priority for federal infrastructure funding the Brandon University Fitness Centre project, which will see a new recreational centre built on campus.
If all Government of Canada program requirements under the Building Canada Fund are met, and a contribution agreement is signed, support for the estimated $18.8-million project is as follows:
- Up to $5.31 million from the Government of Canada
- Up to $5.31 million from the Province of Manitoba
- $6.3 million from Brandon University
- $1.88 million from the City of Brandon
The Major Infrastructure Component targets larger, strategic projects of national and regional significance. Projects under the Major Infrastructure Component are selected through a federal-provincial negotiation process. All projects are required to meet specified federal requirements.
The Government of Canada’s Economic Action Plan expands the existing Building Canada Fund with almost $12 billion in new infrastructure stimulus funding over two years.
The Government of Canada is committing funding to infrastructure projects throughout Manitoba under the Building Canada Fund. Previously announced projects include the Red River Floodway, the Waverley West Arterial Roads Project and improvements to the Trans-Canada Highway near Headingley.
