The governments of Canada and Saskatchewan announced a joint investment on April 13 of more than $25.9 million through the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF) to develop and improve essential water, wastewater, stormwater and solid waste infrastructure across the province to enable a higher volume of home building at a faster pace.
In total, the investments will enable the construction of up to 29,370 housing units across three cities, a Department of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities release said.
“Strong communities are built from the ground up. Working with the province and our municipal partners in Regina, Saskatoon, and Moose Jaw, we’re investing to make sure they have the right infrastructure in place so more homes can get built and communities can grow the way they need to.” federal secretary of state for rural development Buckley Belanger said.
In Regina, Taylor Field will be redeveloped with new and upgraded water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure, part of a part of the seven-acre housing development on the Taylor Field grounds.
In Moose Jaw, the Spring Creek Stormwater Management Project will involve replacing pipes, upgrading roads, and rerouting pipes to improve the stormwater systems and enable more housing development.
The Saskatoon project involves expansion of its Material Recovery Centre to enable diversion of 70 per cent of waste from its landfill and would expand acceptance of waste from construction and demolition, bulky waste, and hazardous household waste.
The Government of Canada is investing $14,173,431 in the projects through the CHIF and Saskatchewan is investing $11,810,012. The three municipalities are investing a total of $9,450,135 in their projects.
