Investing across British Columbia to build safe and strong communities

Surrey, British Columbia, August 26, 2025 - The Government of Canada is delivering over $326 million to British Columbia this year to build stronger and more connected communities.

Our communities can only grow to support more housing when there are investments in foundational infrastructure projects - like public transit, water systems, and local roads and bridges. With today's announcement, that is exactly what the Government of Canada is delivering on.

With the funding announced today, communities can build both the essential and recreational infrastructure that allows families in Canada to thrive.

For example, in Surrey, CCBF funding is supporting the construction of a new sports field, enhanced lighting, and safety improvements at Tamanawis Park, creating a safer and more accessible space that promotes active lifestyles and strengthens community connections.

The Canada Community-Building Fund provides communities with the flexibility to strategically address present and future infrastructure needs and is administered in British Columbia by the Union of B.C. Municipalities.
