What is infrastructure?

Simply put, it's the physical backbone of a community. It helps:

  • efficiently move people and goods and get them to where they need to be;

  • provide safe drinking water;

  • keep the air and water clean; and

  • offer public facilities for recreation, sports and culture.

Infrastructure is all around you: roads, sidewalks, public transportation systems, water treatment plants, museums and galleries, sports facilities, parks and trails, just to name a few.

Housing is the foundation for strong and healthy communities in the North and across the country. With a financial contribution from the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund, the community of Kakisa, in the Northwest Territories, cleared brush and bought gravel to create roads and building pads. This helped prepare a subdivision for new home construction.
