## Resource

Ottawa just poured $510 million into Alberta’s water and wastewater systems — a game-changing partnership with the province to tackle infrastructure gaps as the region swells with over 600,000 new residents in just five years. This funding, part of the Canada-Alberta Housing Infrastructure Fund, sees the province matching at least a third of costs, signaling a federal pivot to support cities struggling with aging systems. The move comes after a major Calgary water main break exposed the urgent need for investment — and follows a $323 million housing boost just months ago. Experts say this is long overdue, as decades of underfunding have stalled development and housing growth, making this a critical step toward resilient, thriving communities.
