Renewing Rural Infrastructure is
specifically called out: "Strong and
modern infrastructure is an essential
building block for Canada's competi-
tiveness and the long-term prosper-
ity of Canadians, whether they live
in large cities or small communities.
Canada, which is the most trade-
dependent nation among the G7, re-
lies on its transportation network and supporting
infrastructure to get goods to market. Together,
population and economic growth are putting in-
creasing pressure on Canada's public infrastruc-
ture. e need to upgrade and replace Canada's
infrastructure is becoming urgent. Better infra-
structure planning and construction can reduce the
impact of human activity, help protect and improve
the environment, and contribute to the health and
prosperity of Canadians."

ing to delay or cancel business park expansions or
housing development projects due to inadequate
infrastructure, and how that has slowed economic
growth. Community Infrastructure, like recre-
ation and cultural centres, was also cited as impor-
tant to attracting new workers and immigrants,
and creating places where existing residents want
to stay.
"Yet many noted that the terms for accessing
government funding programs are oen beyond
a small community's capacity or financing ability.

plan for, manage, and renew Infrastructure assets
is a concern. e Federation of Canadian Mu-

SPECIFIC TO THEIR NEEDS,
COMMON THEMES AND
CHALLENGES EMERGED."
