The program provided funding for the Town of Bridgewater, Pinnguaq, the City of Guelph, County of Wellington and the City of Montreal.[1]
COVID-19
Infrastructure Canada launched the Canada Healthy Communities Initiative to provide $31 million in funding "to help communities adapt public spaces and local services in a way that meets people’s needs both during and following the COVID-19 pandemic."[1:1][2]
