Ottawa Delivers $82.3 Million to Manitoba Municipalities for 2025–26 Infrastructure

Overview

• More than $82.3 million from the Canada Community-Building Fund is allocated across 137 Manitoba recipients for the 2025–2026 fiscal year.
• Winnipeg receives the largest shares with $43,421,222 for municipal projects and $7,071,737 for transit infrastructure.
• The transfer supports foundational priorities such as public transit, water systems, and local roads and bridges to build stronger, more connected communities.
• A highlighted example is the Plum Coulee rural waterlines extension in the Municipality of Rhineland, which installed about 8.7 km of lines to boost pressure to Ag West Industrial Park Phase 2.
• Announced in Winnipeg on October 17 by federal and provincial officials, the funding is presented as stable and predictable, with payments expected to begin later this fiscal year.
