Fostering vibrant communities

Key to vibrant communities are the places and spaces where people in Canada access a wide range of community, cultural, and recreational activities, providing a welcoming and accessible space for all. Whether you are a child enjoying an outdoor playground or a senior engaging in a cultural activity, these spaces enable people to connect, participate in sports and activities, and engage in cultural events. Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada is an important partner in ensuring that all Canadian communities have equitable access to these important community spaces.
