What it does
The Community Infrastructure Program works to improve First Nations communities’ quality of life and environments. The program supports First Nations communities’ efforts to have reliable and sustainable infrastructure by providing funding to plan, design, construct, acquire, operate, and maintain infrastructure assets and facilities, as well as to coordinate training and undertake capacity-building activities in this area.
Infrastructure assets supported through the program include housing, education facilities, health facilities, water and wastewater, and other community infrastructure. The program also enhances the development and delivery of other social and economic programs and services by providing infrastructure funding.

|---|---|---|---|
| Other Community Infrastructure and Activities | Earlier program (name match, high confidence) | 2018-19 – 2020-21 | $517M |
