A number of northeast communities are set to receive funding for local infrastructure projects.
The Government of Saskatchewan, in conjunction with the Government of Canada, had announced over $50 million worth of funding going towards 55 projects in Saskatchewan.
“Through collaboration with our provincial and municipal partners, we are funding important infrastructure projects throughout Saskatchewan,” said Government of Canada’s Special Representative for the Prairies Jim Carr in a release. “With the COVID-19 Resilience Stream, we are also responding to the impacts of the pandemic through flexible and accelerated investments in key infrastructure upgrades as quickly as possible. The funding announced today will help communities build back better, create jobs, and build cleaner, more inclusive communities.”
