Canada Announces $510 Million Funding for Alberta Water and Wastewater Infrastructure
The federal government has committed $510 million to improve water and wastewater systems in Alberta municipalities. The investment is made through the Canada‑Alberta Housing Infrastructure Fund agreement, under which the province will cover at least one‑third of eligible project costs. Prime Minister Mark Carney traveled to Red Deer on July 29, 2026, to join Premier Danielle Smith at a new housing development and unveil the funding package.
The program targets municipal‑led projects and aims to upgrade critical infrastructure across the province, strengthening water quality and service reliability for residents.
