From: Laura Sheardown, Cash Flow & Investment Coordinator
Re: Projects Submitted to the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund
RECOMMENDATION
THAT the memorandum regarding Projects Submitted to the Community
Infrastructure Improvement Fund be received for information.
During the summer of 2012, The Government of Canada committed to strengthening
public infrastructure with the announcement of $150 million in spending over two years
through a new Community Infrastructure Investment Plan (CIIF).
The new Fund is to support the rehabilitation and improvement, including the expansion,
of existing community infrastructure facilities, such as community centres, recreational
buildings, local arenas, cultural facilities and other community facilities.
Under this program, recipients may receive a non-repayable contribution of up to 50% of
eligible costs; however, priority may be given to those projects that only require a 33.3%
contribution. The maximum contribution per project is $1,000,000. All projects submitted
by the Town are at the 33.3% contribution level.
In order for a project to be considered eligible, the costs must be incurred between April 1,
2012 and March 31, 2014.
After a review of eligible projects, Town staff decided to submit projects that total a request
of approximately $3.5 million. A complete list of these projects can be found on the next
page.
Staff are still waiting for the results of the call for grant applications, however, federal staff
believe that decisions should be forthcoming before the end of 2012.
