Purchase of 3 hybrid buses to expand the public transit system in the city of Fredericton, New Brunswick.

The Unsheltered Homelessness and Encampments Initiative will address unsheltered homelessness and encampments by providing funding and coordinating with other orders of government to increase housing supply, affordability, and improve access to vital services. To accomplish this, Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada is working with provinces, territories and municipalities on the delivery of this initiative to maximize alignment, select communities and confirm commitments to support and fund community-level efforts.

The Government of Canada announced $6 billion over 10 years in Budget 2024 for the new Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund to accelerate the construction and upgrading of housing-enabling drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, and solid waste infrastructure, directly supporting the creation of new homes and increasing densification.

A retrofit project in Rockwood, MB that will repair and upgrade the core building systems across the entire complex to significantly increase its energy efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint. The centre will be more inclusive and accessible for the broad and diverse community that it services.

To address infrastructure and housing challenges by focusing on Infrastructure Master Plans (IMPs), used to identify major infrastructure investments to meet population growth targets, support affordable housing, and ensure infrastructure is resilient to climate change.

Veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness across Canada will have increased support through the Program. This is accomplished by providing direct funding to communities and mobilizing collaborators at the federal, provincial/territorial and community levels, as well as the private and voluntary sectors, to address barriers to well-being faced by Veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness, through two funding streams: the Services and Supports Stream and the Capacity Building Stream.

This project proposes the new construction and rehabilitation of 4 types of assets including Transportation Systems, Water and Wastewater Systems, and Stormwater Systems (natural and structural assets). The natural asset is a wetland development to mitigate the flow of water towards rivers and to stabilize water levels throughout the year. These multiple infrastructure projects will protect critical infrastructure, support business continuity and increase public safety in the City’s flood zone from river flooding up to a minimum of 8.3 meters and high intensity rainfall events.

The Skyline Acres pedestrian overpass was identified as a desirable active transportation link by City staff in 2006 & brought to the forefront by a community group in 2015. A high-level feasibility study & order of magnitude cost estimate was completed in 2019 but a more detailed design is required to proceed with the construction of the project. The aim of this proposed project is to advance the feasibility study, engineering design, rendering drawings & cost estimate for a proposed pedestrian bridge overpassing Route 8.

This project includes 22 bundled components across Fredericton that will complete existing gaps in the City’s active transportation network, including new sidewalks, upgrades to 5km of multi-use trail, the construction of new multi-use trails, new crossings, as well as the installation of new bike racks on transit buses.
