FLORENCEVILLE-BRISTOL, NB, Aug. 22, 2019 /CNW/ - Strategic investments in public infrastructure, including funding for water and wastewater infrastructure, tourism, recreation and improved roads and highways, play a key role in ensuring Canadians and their families have access to modern and reliable infrastructure that meets their needs. This also includes the need for efficient transportation networks that help Canadians get to work, school and essential services on time and back home safely to their loved ones.

Today, T.J. Harvey, Member of Parliament for Tobique–Mactaquac, on behalf of the Honourable Bernadette Jordan, Minister of Rural Economic Development, and the Honourable Bill Oliver, New Brunswick Minister of Transportation and Infrastructureannounced funding for seven projects to improve local infrastructure for Western New Brunswick municipalities.

The projects involve realigning approximately 0.5 km of roadway on Route 560, replacing a small bridge over Indian Brook, and paving approximately 4.0 kilometres of Route 590. Additionally, the remaining projects include building a new lookout overlooking the Saint John River; a water reservoir upgrade that will connect a 400,000 gallon reservoir to the water system in Saint-André; and the realignment and improvement of 0.3 kilometres of roadway on Route 105 in the Medford Area.

Once completed, these projects will make the road infrastructure safer and improve reliability for the residents who use the roads and bridges on their daily commutes. Western New Brunswickers will also benefit from cleaner water, more efficient wastewater services, upgraded recreational facilities, and improved tourism sites that will strengthen their communities over the long term.

The Government of Canada is investing more than $2.8 million total in the seven projects through the Investing in Canada infrastructure plan. The province is also contributing over $2.7 million towards the projects, with participating municipalities contributing over $320,000.

 Quick facts

  • Through the Investing in Canada infrastructure plan, the Government of Canada is investing more than $180 billion over 12 years in public transit projects, green infrastructure, social infrastructure, trade and transportation routes, and Canada's rural and northern communities.
  • $2 billion of this funding is supporting infrastructure projects that meet the unique needs of rural and northern communities like facilities to support food security, local access roads and enhanced broadband connectivity.
  • The federal share of investments for communities with fewer than 5,000 residents covers up to 60% of the total eligible costs.
  • More than $10.1 billion of this funding is supporting trade and transportation projects, including $5 billion available for investment through the Canada Infrastructure Bank.
  • Federal investment under the new agreement with New Brunswick for the Investing in Canada infrastructure plan will total over $673 million. Funding will be distributed between four streams: rural and northern communities; public transit; green; and community, culture and recreation.
  • On June 27, 2019, the Government of Canada launched two new strategies: Canada's Connectivity Strategy, which commits to connect all Canadians to high-speed internet, and Canada's first Rural Economic Development Strategy, which will spur economic growth and create good, middle class jobs for rural Canadians across the country.
  • The Rural Economic Development Strategy leverages ongoing federal investments and provides a vision for the future, identifying practical steps to take in the short term, and serving as a foundation to guide further work.
  • Central to Canada's Connectivity Strategy are historic new investments that are mobilizing up to $6 billion toward universal connectivity. They include a top-up to the Connect to Innovate Program, a new Universal Broadband Fund, and investments from the Canada Infrastructure Bank.
  • These investments complement the Atlantic Growth Strategy, a federal-provincial action plan aimed at stimulating economic growth in the region through five priority areas:
    • Skilled workforce/Immigration;
    • Innovation;
    • Clean growth and climate change;
    • Trade and investment;
    • Infrastructure.
