The Build Communities Strong Fund Community stream in Ontario
The Community stream (formerly CCBF) of the Build Communities Strong Fund provides permanent and stable funding for local infrastructure. Funding is provided by the Government of Canada.
Canadian municipalities receive over $2.5 billion from the Community stream (formerly CCBF) of the Build Communities Strong Fund each year; Ontario's share is over $900 million. Funds are distributed to communities across the province on a per-capita basis.
Since its launch in 2005, municipalities receiving BCSF-CS funds through AMO have invested over $10 billion from the Fund into over 14,000 local projects. Funds can be invested across 18 project categories to promote economic growth, strengthen communities, and improve the environment.
