Ottawa commits $500 million to Winnipeg wastewater upgrades supporting housing growth
Published by BriefDash · · Toronto
Ottawa announced October 30 a $500-million contribution toward the nutrient-removal phase of Winnipeg’s North End Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade, which the federal release links to future housing capacity. Manitoba announced its own $500-million contribution in August. Federal funding remains conditional on a contribution agreement and consultation and environmental requirements; the announcement does not establish completed homes.
Why it matters
New housing depends on adequate municipal wastewater capacity.
