Canada-Alberta Invests in Water Infrastructure | Calgary News

Ottawa and Alberta are launching a $510 million, eight-year partnership to upgrade water and wastewater systems across the province, calling it essential to keep pace with Alberta’s rapid population growth—over 600,000 new residents in five years. The Canada-Alberta Housing Infrastructure Fund will see the province covering at least one-third of project costs, tackling a $30 billion infrastructure deficit. Experts say this funding is long overdue, as municipal systems strain under decades of underinvestment, highlighted by major water main breaks in Calgary and stalled housing starts. This follows a recent $323 million housing investment, signaling a coordinated push to rebuild critical infrastructure and support affordable housing.
