Saskatchewan is receiving $187.9 million to build or improve housing-enabling infrastructure through an agreement with the federal government.

The 10-year agreement under the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund was finalized today. It will allow Saskatchewan to upgrade critical infrastructure related to drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, and solid waste, and ultimately build more affordable homes.

Government Relations Minister Eric Schmalz says, “The Government of Saskatchewan is committing more than $155 million toward this program to add additional options towards affordability for all residents of our province,”
