Federal infrastructure funding encompasses various programs that transfer federal money to municipalities for capital projects. Major programs have included the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (with streams for public transit, green infrastructure, community facilities, and rural/northern infrastructure), the Canada Community-Building Fund (formerly Gas Tax Fund), the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund, housing-related infrastructure through CMHC, and the Housing Accelerator Fund. Program availability, eligibility, and funding levels change with federal budgets and priorities. Funding typically requires provincial and municipal cost-sharing (often one-third each) and flows through bilateral agreements between federal and provincial governments. Municipalities track available programs, align capital plans with funding opportunities, and maintain project inventories ready for application when programs open. Federal infrastructure investment has been crucial for addressing Canada's infrastructure deficit, though municipal needs continue to exceed available funding.
