The Governments of Canada and New Brunswick have finalized an agreement under the Provincial and Territorial stream of the Build Communities Strong Fund that will see $305 million in funding to support infrastructure projects and priorities related to housing and post-secondary education over 10 years, as well as more than $155 million in health infrastructure funding over three years, which will complement existing federal health-related support.
“Canada and New Brunswick are making strategic investments that will help unlock new housing, strengthen post-secondary education and support modern, reliable health infrastructure,” said Dominic LeBlanc, Minister responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade, Intergovernmental Affairs, Internal Trade and One Canadian Economy.
The first project supported through this agreement involves renovations to Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital, Vitalité Health Network’s largest hospital. A federal investment of more than $11 million for the renovation of approximately 13,800 sq.ft. of space within the hospital will create 12 endoscopy rooms.
