Building Canada Fund

The Building Canada Fund (BCF) is the Government of Canada's new flagship infrastructure program. It advances national priorities that are important to all Canadians: a stronger economy, a cleaner environment, and better communities, while addressing local and regional infrastructure needs.

The national priority funding categories for the BCF are:

• Core National Highway System
• Drinking Water
• Wastewater
• Public Transit
• Green Energy

Funding will be allocated for projects in the provinces and territories based on their population and all major projects will be selected through federal-provincial/territorial negotiations.

The program will operate through two components:

• The Major Infrastructure Component (MIC) will target larger, strategic projects of national and regional significance.
  
  
• The Communities Component (CC) will focus on projects in communities with populations of less than 100,000 – helping these smaller communities face their unique challenges.
