Canada Community-Building Fund (CCBF)

The Canada Community-Building Fund (CCBF) is a national program, helping PEI communities invest in local infrastructure priorities, including projects for housing growth. CCBF provides predictable and flexible funding across 19 different project categories:

public transit wastewater infrastructure drinking water solid waste management
community energy systems local roads and bridges capacity building highways
local and regional airports short-line rail short-sea shipping resilience
broadband and connectivity culture tourism sport
recreation fire halls

brownfield redevelopment

 

Municipalities choose how to invest CCBF in their communities based on funding criteria. Since 2005, the Government of Canada’s CCBF program has invested $294 million in PEI infrastructure. 

What’s New

PEI and Canada renewed the CCBF agreement for another 10 years – from 2024 to 2034. Canada will be investing $94.5 million in the first five years of the agreement.

Funding

Municipalities are allocated funds every five years adjusted to population census data.

Municipalities, eligible non-profit, for-profit and NGO organizations can apply for funding

  • Municipal Strategic Component is an application-based program with applications due by the third Friday in March and fourth Friday in September.    
    • Wastewater and drinking water projects that significantly help communities, county or province are prioritized for funding. 

The PEI Infrastructure Secretariat informs municipalities about funding allocations, distributes the funds, and informs them about deadlines for the application-based funding and administers that part of the program. 

Contact the PEI Infrastructure Secretariat by phone at 902-368-6637. You will hear back within 48 business hours.

CCBF is the former Federal Gas Tax Fund.
