Saskatchewan and Canada entered into an administrative agreement enabling the provincial government to continue to receive funding from the CCBF for a 10-year term: 2024-25 through 2033-34.

CCBF is a federally-funded program. Details about the program can be found on the Government of Canada’s website: Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada - The Canada Community-Building Fund. You can also read this Questions and Answers document about the CCBF Fund Renewal 2024-2034 to learn about changes under this agreement.

The bilateral agreement provides a joint framework for transferring CCBF funding from Canada to Saskatchewan for administration and for allocation to municipalities.

To receive funding, municipalities must:

• enter into a Municipal Funding Agreement, including any amendments; and
• submit an Infrastructure Investment Plan for each project; and
• adhere to Saskatchewan's Municipal Compliance Strategy.

The payments are based on per capita and are to be used for municipal infrastructure projects and capacity building projects.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS

For the past several funding agreements, the Town has chosen to use funds for street improvements.  In 2025 we upgraded 1 km of road within town, including excavating deep sections, laying the base layer and asphalt surface, and repairing manhole covers and valve box tops. This project will reduce average travel time and extend the estimated service life of the infrastructure.
