Grants and Contributions

The Short-Term Rental Enforcement Fund aims to limit short-term rentals that take away units from the long-term rental market across the country. This is accomplished by providing grant funding to municipalities and Indigenous communities with existing strict regulatory regimes to support the local enforcement of short-term rental restrictions in an effort to make more long-term housing units available in Canada.

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.

Communities across Canada that have a significant issue with homelessness and will have increased supports for their vulnerable populations through Reaching Home. This is accomplished by mobilizing partners at the federal, provincial/territorial and community levels, as well as the private and voluntary sectors, and other stakeholders, to address barriers to well-being faced by those who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness.

This project involves the construction of pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure on Dudley Street between Dawes Avenue and Spadina Crescent. This connection was identified as a high priority for the bicycle network in the Active Transportation Plan. It will connect residential neighbourhoods with both employment areas such as the West Industrial Area and recreation and park spaces and the Meewasin river valley trail network.

Project components include:
• Two pedestrian and cyclist-activated signals: 1) at Dudley Street and Dawes Avenue, and 2) Dudley Street and Avenue P.
• One kilometre of multi-use pathway on the south side of Dudley Street in the industrial area from Dawes Avenue to Avenue P South including vertical curb and drainage upgrades.
• 800 metres of neighbourhood bikeway (also known as bike boulevard) on Dudley Street in the residential area from Avenue P to Spadina Crescent which will feature: Curb extensions and Raised crosswalks
• 1.25 kilometres of additional sidewalk; and
• All applicable signage and pavement markings for the new cycling facility on Dudley Street.

This project seeks to implement a green network that will revitalize a range of natural infrastructure, connect residents to nature, protect biodiversity, and increase climate resilience, with the objective of reducing flooding risks, emissions and pollutants, while improving natural habitats, biodiversity and residents’ access to nature.

As part of the Active Transportation Plan, the City committed to the following action item under the theme of connectivity: Develop a complete and connected bicycle network for all ages and abilities.

Victoria Avenue is a two-lane major collector street connecting many residential neighbourhoods, commercial areas, and park spaces in Saskatoon.

The Active Transportation Street Team will provide in-person, on-site education on the rules of the road and the existing bike network, as well as build support for cycling
