The Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) — Green Infrastructure Stream Grant is for Ontario communities with populations of less than 100,000 and is for projects that focus on immediate, critical local water, wastewater and stormwater needs. About $200 million in federal and provincial funding is a available in this round.
