Grants and Contributions

The project will deliver drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure across key sites to enable residential development. The project will support approximately 3,310 new housing units, including high-density and subdivision developments, by expanding servicing capacity in coordination with Niagara Region. This will increase housing supply and support community growth.

The project will plan and construct a new water supply system to serve Cape Breton University and the nearby Tanglewood subdivision, including transmission and distribution infrastructure, storage, and pumping facilities, as well as an assessment of municipal wastewater capacity. The project will support the development of over 200 housing units, improving water reliability and enabling growth within the Cape Breton Regional Municipality.

The project will support the development of land to enable housing and essential services. The project will install new drinking water and wastewater infrastructure to open approximately 26 hectares of land for development, including Inuit Owned Land and municipal lands. Additionally, the project will support mixed-use development, including 900 housing units as well as commercial space, helping address housing needs and support economic opportunities in the community.

The project will increase capacity for sewer and water mains to support infill growth in identified areas of the city. The upgrades will enable up to 34,783 housing units, supporting housing growth and affordability initiatives while improving servicing capacity.

The project will upgrade wastewater and stormwater infrastructure capacity and implement measures to reduce impacts from extreme weather, as well as inflow and infiltration. The project will enable the development of 650 residential units, support future growth, and extend the lifespan of existing wastewater systems in the Brookside area.

The project will deliver key municipal infrastructure, including new water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater systems. Additionally, the project will enable the immediate construction of 145 housing units and the full development of a 24-acre site with up to 600 residential units and commercial space over the next 4–5 years, helping address housing needs and increasing density within the Cape Breton Regional Municipality service area.

The project will upgrade the Lotus Avenue wastewater system to increase capacity and support new residential development. The project will enable up to 645 housing units, including affordable and accessible housing, while improving infrastructure reliability and supporting sustainable urban growth.

The Lively-Walden Wastewater System Upgrade project in Greater Sudbury, Ontario aims to address capacity challenges and improve service levels for wastewater infrastructure. This capital project involves detailed design and construction of upgrades to the Anderson List Station, Jacob Street Lift Station, and the linear collection system downstream of the Lively Wastewater Treatment Plant. Additionally, it includes Phase 1 upgrades to the Walden Wastewater Treatment Plant and the decommissioning of the Lively Wastewater Treatment Plant. The upgrades will increase the wastewater treatment capacity to accommodate growth within the Lively-Walden community to 2051 and the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek First Nation to 2062. The project will enhance environmental protection, reduce inflow and infiltration, and improve infrastructure reliability. The outcome will be a robust wastewater system supporting long-term growth, environmental sustainability, and compliance with provincial policies.

The West End Treatment Plant Upgrades - Phase 2 for the City of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario project ensures that the West End Wastewater Treatment Plant will continue to meet the needs of Sault Ste. Marie's growing population and forecasted housing needs into the next decade. A reliable wastewater treatment plant is a critical piece of infrastructure required to support more homes. Wastewater in the City of Sault Ste. Marie is treated at two wastewater treatment plants: the East End Wastewater Treatment Plant (EEWWTP) and West End Wastewater Treatment Plant (WEWWTP). Both facilities discharge treated effluent to the Great Lakes, a sensitive and critical resource. The City is undertaking important upgrades to the WEWWTP to support planned growth in the west catchment area, reduce maintenance demands, and improve operational efficiencies. The upgrades include improvements to the aeration system, primary and secondary clarifier mechanisms, and conversion of the chlorine disinfection/dichlorination systems to UV disinfection. These improvements will enable 2,284 housing units and ensure high-quality treated effluent, complying with Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) criteria, while reducing chemical loading on the receiving waterbody and improving aquatic health.
