The Government of Canada is using every tool at its disposal, leveraging technology, innovation and partnerships, to build homes at scale.
To that end, MP Philip Earle, Premier John Hogan and Deputy Mayor Mitchell Marsh announced a joint investment of over $5.7 million through the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF) to extend the essential water, sewer and stormwater infrastructure in Labrador City needed to build more homes, faster. In total, these investments will enable the construction of up to 52 building lots along Waxwing Avenue.
This project is part of the governments of Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador’s funding agreement that is paving way for the construction of more homes to support a growing population.
“Investing in municipal infrastructure is about more than water systems and roads – it’s about strengthening the very foundation of our towns and communities. From clean drinking water to climate change adaptation, these projects help improve the daily lives of our residents, create good jobs, and help build a more resilient and prosperous Newfoundland and Labrador,” said The Honourable John Hogan, K.C., Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador.
