DALMENY AND ROSTHERN RECEIVE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS

Released on September 21, 2005

Dalmeny and Rosthern are eligible for more than $4 million worth of new infrastructure projects approved under the Canada-Saskatchewan Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund (C-S MRIF).

• Town of Dalmeny - waste water disposal system upgrade with a MRIF contribution of $500,000 and an eligible project cost of $3,630,270; and

• Town of Rosthern - lagoon expansion with a MRIF contribution of $217,772 and an eligible project cost of $435,545.

These investments are part of the more than $51 million in federal, provincial and municipal funds that was announced for 58 C-S MRIF infrastructure projects across the province. The governments of Canada and Saskatchewan will contribute $6.2 million each while participating municipalities will provide the remaining $39 million.

"Saskatchewan people expect their governments to work together and this program is a shining example of governments working together on behalf of their common constituents," Government Relations Minister Len Taylor said. "From a lagoon expansion in Rosthern to waste water disposal system upgrade in Dalmeny, Saskatchewan's $6.2 million investment is part of our government's commitment to fund municipal and regional infrastructure for our communities."

The federal and provincial governments are investing a total of $76 million in the four-year Canada-Saskatchewan Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund. Participating communities are expected to contribute one-half the cost of any project, which could raise the total infrastructure investment to $152 million.

Approved projects include 29 transportation projects, 25 waste water and water supply improvements and four solid waste projects. Before receiving final approval, community projects undergo a review process under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and all mitigating factors will be addressed during the construction phase.
