B.C. to Receive $326M This Year for Community Infrastructure Projects
The $326 million funding supports infrastructure projects including transit, water, and recreation to address population growth and housing challenges, officials said.
- In Surrey, Federal Housing Minister Gregor Robertson announced $326 million for B.C. communities on Tuesday, delivered via the Canada Community-Building Fund and administered by the Union of B.C. Municipalities.
- To support housing and livability, the federal funding responds to City of Coquitlam's growing infrastructure shortfalls, as Mayor Richard Stewart highlights provincial housing policy passed in 2023 reduced financing access.
- In B.C., the program is delivered through the Union of B.C. Municipalities, which administers funds for 19 project categories including public transit, wastewater, drinking water, and recreational projects.
- The Tri-Cities will receive nearly $1 million in 2025-26—Coquitlam $543,971, Port Coquitlam $262,257, Port Moody $171,842—but local finance officials caution this funding falls short of the total need.
- Ottawa's broader pledge reflects a $26.7 billion national commitment for 2024–2034, with B.C. slated to receive $1.6 billion over five years.
