Infrastructure

Municipal infrastructure provides the foundations on which our economy rests. Small businesses need quality roads and bridges to deliver goods and services. Workers need fast, efficient public transit to connect them to jobs. And growing companies count on high-quality community services, from libraries to hockey rinks, to attract skilled workers. Yet today, those foundations are buckling under the strain.

The Canadian Infrastructure Report Card: Canada's first report card on municipal infrastructure offers an objective assessment of the state of infrastructure, and the state of infrastructure management, in 123 municipalities.
