This year there is hardly enough money from the Federal Government for a small community in Saskatchewan to build a new sewage lagoon.
P3 Canada Fund Contributes to Saskatoon North Commuter Parkway Project
On behalf of
Finance Minister Joe Oliver, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Member of
Parliament for Battlefords–Lloydminster Gerry Ritz today announced the
Government of Canada will help fund the North Commuter Parkway and Traffic
Bridge Replacement project in Saskatoon.
Through the
P3 Canada Fund, the federal government will provide an investment of up to $66
million to the project while the Province of Saskatchewan will contribute $50
million. The Minister was joined at the event by Brad Wall, Premier of
Saskatchewan, and Donald J. Atchison, Mayor of
Saskatoon.
The project
involves the replacement of the 107-year-old Traffic Bridge in the City’s
downtown core, the development of a new bridge crossing in the City’s north end,
as well as connecting roadways. Once the Parkway and the two bridges are opened
traffic congestion will be reduced and travel times will be shorter for vehicles
and public transit, resulting in reduced greenhouse gas emissions and improved
air quality. (PPP Canada News email announcement)
