Investing in Canada Update
On June 27, 2018, AUMA hosted a webinar on the Investing in Canada program, which is now available online. The webinar provided an overview of the Investing in Canada plan, tips for applicants and answers to municipal questions about the program. We want to thank Jennifer Demeria and Caroline Thomson from Alberta Infrastructure for participating and answering our members’ questions. We also want to thank all of you who were able to participate.
There are some outstanding questions we hope to get answers on:
- Can MSI be used to cover the provincial portion of the Investing in Canada grant?
- Does the gas tax fund count as provincial funding?
- Does the MCCAC grant funding count as a provincial grant?
We will continue to update you once we have more information.
The Municipal Affairs grants website has a list of most the provincially available grants and their criteria from all departments. To qualify for Investing in Canada, 33.3 per cent of costs must be covered by the province. When you are assembling your proposals, this website can be a great tool to help you identify your provincial funding source.
