As our 2024 Road Reconstruction and Overlay Project is nearing an end, we wanted to acknowledge two (2) streams of funding that help significantly offset the cost of undertaking this work.
The Town received the following Federal funding under the Canada Community Building Fund (CCBF), which is a stable, predictable, and indexed source of funding which allows communities to make strategic investments in essential infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, public transit, drinking water and wastewater infrastructure, and recreational facilities:
- Judson Street – $110,000
- Lemaistre Street – $132,253
- Blair Street – $120,000
The Town also received the following Provincial funding under the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF). OCIF was launched in 2014 and provides funding to help small, rural and northern communities renew and rehabilitate critical infrastructure:
- Nelson Street – $900,000
- Wilson Street – $205,000
The Town has been notified that our 2025 allotment of OCIF funding will be $823,436, which is $145,312 less than our 2024 allotment. Projects that will be undertaken next year will be identified as part of the Town’s annual 2025 budgeting process.
