Montreal, Quebec, August 20, 2025 -The Government of Canada is delivering over $557.5 million to Quebec this year through the Canada Community-Building Fund (CCBF). This allocation is part of the previously announced $2.8 billion in CCBF funding Quebec will receive by 2029 to build communities with stronger and more resilient infrastructure. In addition to its other significant infrastructure investments, the Government of Quebec is contributing more than $1.7 billion by 2029 to projects funded by the CCBF.

Investing in basic infrastructure projects - such as public transit, water and wastewater infrastructure, and local roads and bridges - enables communities to grow and build more housing. Today's announcement reflects exactly what Canada's new government has committed to achieving with the Canada Community-Building Fund program, in collaboration with the Government of Quebec.

With the funding announced today, communities can build essential and recreational infrastructure so families in Quebec can thrive.

The administrative agreement on the CCBF between the Government of Canada and the Government of Quebec provides the flexibility needed to respond strategically to the current and future infrastructure needs of Quebec municipalities.

The overall budget, which will allow for investments of more than $4.5 billion by the 2028-2029 fiscal year, is administered by the Societe de financement des infrastructures locales (SOFIL) and the funds are distributed to municipalities for projects developed in collaboration with the ministre des Affaires municipales et de l'Habitation and the ministre des Transports et de la Mobilite durable.
