Improving local infrastructure has become easier for even more
communities as a result of the launch of the expanded Towns for
Tomorrow program.

Municipalities with populations up to 15,000 and regional districts
are now eligible for funding to develop and enhance local
infrastructure.

Now a five-year, $71-million program, Towns
for Tomorrow supports projects that address climate change and
contribute to the overall health, sustainability and livability of
communities.

Eligible projects include, but are not limited to:
