Eligibility

All local governments are eligible for capital funding, except for improvement districts without resident populations. Eligible local governments include municipalities, Metis Settlements and the Townsite of Redwood Meadows.

Eligible capital projects include:

  • roads and bridges
  • public transit vehicles or facilities
  • emergency services facilities or equipment
  • water and wastewater systems
  • solid waste management facilities or equipment
  • other municipal buildings such as recreation and sports facilities, libraries, and cultural and community centres
