Backgrounder INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

1 Backgrounder INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA On September 24, 2009, the Governments of Canada and British Columbia announced 174 infrastructure projects across the province valued at $719 million. The announcement represents a partnership between the federal, provincial and municipal governments which allows the Province of British Columbia to leverage every available dollar under the federal government infrastructure programs. Projects announced today are helping to create jobs, get work underway, and ensure Canada's economy emerges strong during a global economic downturn. Further announcements will be made pending final project approvals. This funding announcement represents two unique funding programs: the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund, and a fund under Building Canada called the Communities Component. Infrastructure Stimulus Fund (ISF) In 2009, the Government of Canada introduced the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund as part of its Economic Action Plan to get shovels in the ground and projects completed by March 31, The fund s success is a result of partnerships developed between the federal, provincial and local governments, who are working together to fund projects and get the work underway. This announcement represents a total of 90 projects under ISF valued at $343 million. The Government of Canada is contributing $127 million, the British Columbia Government is contributing $116 million, and local governments are providing the final third of the cost. A list of projects is below. Communities Component of the Building Canada Fund The province of British Columbia has also partnered with the Government of Canada to ensure smaller communities with populations of less than 100,000 have access to infrastructure funding. An important step was taken this year to top up this fund and provide additional funding to communities of this size. In total, 84 projects are being funded today under the Communities Component of the Building Canada Fund valued at $376 million. This represents an investment of $117 million from the Government of Canada, and $117 million from the Government of British Columbia. Local municipalities are providing the balance of the remaining costs. A list of projects is below.
