Key Partners and Stakeholders
Overview
- As Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, establishing a collaborative and constructive partnership with provinces and territories (PT), municipalities, Indigenous organizations, portfolio partners, and other key stakeholders, will be important over the course of your mandate.
- You may wish to begin outreach to your key contacts in each PT early in your mandate. These meetings will be an opportunity to introduce yourself to your key contacts across the country, gain a better understanding of jurisdiction-specific infrastructure challenges and priorities, as well as set the stage for future collaboration.
- You may wish to begin your outreach by scheduling bilateral calls or meetings with the PT ministers responsible for infrastructure. You could use these meetings to outline your priorities for your mandate, and to begin discussions around the priorities and pressures that exists in each PT.
- With over 3,500 municipalities across Canada, engagement at the local and regional levels is integral to understanding how infrastructure is planned, administered, and used throughout the country. Within the Department, there is a trend towards greater direct engagement at the local and regional level, including direct-application programs and collaboration across the federal, PT and local governments to enhance Infrastructure Canada's capacity to make informed project investments.
- As part of this direct engagement, you will be called upon to meet with mayors and a number of local associations and organizations during your outreach across the country. As a first step, you may wish to build a working relationship with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), the national voice of municipal governments in Canada, as well as the mayors of Canada's biggest cities.
- Your colleagues from Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada and Indigenous Services Canada are overall leads for the majority of Indigenous policy and programming within the Government of Canada. However, infrastructure programming under your portfolio also benefits First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples. Accordingly, you may also wish to engage with the five key National Indigenous Organizations (NIOs).
- As Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, you are also responsible for several Portfolio organizations. You may wish to reach out to partners of the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority, including the Mayors of both Detroit and Windsor, the Governor of Michigan, the United States' Ambassador to Canada, and the Walpole Island First Nation. Other portfolio partners you may wish to engage include those of the Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridge Incorporated (such as CDPQ Infra and the cities of Montréal and Brossard) and Waterfront Toronto.
- As the representative of public transit agencies across Canada, the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA) is a key partner. Finally, there are a number of other stakeholders with whom you may wish to engage. These include the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Canadian Construction Association, and the Canada Council for Public-Private Partnerships.
- We would be pleased to provide you with additional information and will work with your Office to schedule meetings with key partners and stakeholders early in your mandate.

Marquee Projects
- The Millennium Line is the second line of the SkyTrain rapid transit system in Metro Vancouver. Work is currently underway to extend it by adding 5.7 kilometres of track and six underground stations from VCC-Clark Station to Broadway and Arbutus. This new transportation option along one of the city's busiest corridors will help reduce traffic congestion and air pollution while keeping pace with the city's growing ridership.
- The Comox Valley Regional District is completing the construction of a new water treatment system to serve their communities. Once in service, the new infrastructure will reduce boil water advisories and provide clean safe drinking water to 45,000 residents in the City of Courtenay, the Town of Comox, six regional communities and the K'omoks First Nation.
- The North Delta Track Facility was upgraded to respond to growing community needs and support active lifestyles for the benefit of athletes and residents of all ages and levels. This World Athletics compliant facility features an eight lane competitive track, a natural grass infield for community sports, a walking path on the perimeter of the track, spectator and community seating areas, tennis and pickleball courts, a public washroom, and surrounding rain gardens.

Marquee Projects
- The federal government is contributing over $1 billion to the Valley Line West and Metro Line Northwest projects to expand the LRT system in the Edmonton area. Both projects will significantly extend service to new areas of the city, improve rider experience, increase accessibility, and lay the groundwork for future community growth. The Valley Line West LRT project will add approximately 14 kilometres to the LRT system, from downtown Edmonton to the west-end community of Lewis Farms; the Metro Line Northwest LRT project will extend the line by approximately 1.5 kilometres from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology to the Blatchford development. This public transit infrastructure is crucial to economic growth, reducing air pollution and creating inclusive communities where everyone has access to public services and job opportunities.
- The main campus of the Red Crow Community College in Cardston County was destroyed in a fire in 2015. A new, close to 10,000m² campus building on the Kainai First Nation Reserve will include classrooms, labs, academic and counselling spaces for students, administrative and program spaces for employees, as well as a library, cafeteria and daycare. The facility will also feature a museum and archival space, a cultural teaching and gathering space, and an area for Elders. Once complete, the facility will support Indigenous learning, long-term regional development, and the creation of a talent pipeline for key industries.

Marquee Projects
- The City of Regina is making major improvements to local roads, including building a new overpass on Winnipeg Street, to improve traffic flow, pedestrian connectivity and safety, as well as support new residential, commercial and industrial developments in the area. Once complete, connections among the City's major arterial roads will be improved, providing more efficient commutes for residents while supporting growth and development in the area. The federal government is providing $9.6 million to the project.
- Commissioned in 1955, the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant supplies potable water to more than 260,000 people living in Regina, Moose Jaw and other communities in the region. A federal investment of over $89M to upgrade this main water treatment plant will help ensure it continues to supply safe, clean drinking water in the area for years to come.
- The City of Saskatoon will build a solar power generation facility connected to Saskatoon Light and Power's grid. The new plant will help reduce community greenhouse gases, promote the use of solar energy to the public, and support Saskatoon's Low Emissions Community Plan. The federal government is contributing $1.4 million to this project.

Marquee Projects
- The Iqaluit Solid Waste Facilities project is funding the construction of a new landfill in Iqaluit featuring a new method of waste collection for residential, commercial and industrial waste. This project will provide Iqaluit with an efficient and environmentally sound program for the management of municipal solid waste adapted to the needs of the north. The federal government is contributing more than $26 million to this project. Construction is set to finish in July 2023.
- The Powerplant Replacement project in Kugluktuk will replace the diesel power plant in the community with more energy efficient and operationally reliable equipment and building structures. The project will replace the entire existing building structure and upgrade the current generators with four energy efficient 2.6 megawatt generators. The federal government is contributing over $20.5 million to this project, which is set to be complete in March 2024.
- A remarkable cultural and artistic hub has been created in the heart of Cape Dorset, Nunavut with the help of over $6.5 million in federal funding. The opening of the Kenojuak Cultural Centre means that artists in Cape Dorset now have access to modern equipment and workspaces, and that the living heritage of the Inuit can be preserved within the community and shared with all Canadians. The nearly 930-square metre centre, which includes a modern production facility, will help the community nurture and celebrate Inuit artists.
