Residents of the RM of Wreford will benefit from $71,366 in joint funding from Canada's New Government and the Province of Saskatchewan for a road-resurfacing project.
Funding for the project, which involves clay-capping a road to provide a more direct route to the Nokomis, Semans and Watrous grain terminals, is through the Canada-Saskatchewan Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund (MRIF).
The MRIF grant was announced today by Tom Lukiwski, Member of Parliament for Regina-Lumsden-Lake Centre, on behalf of the Honourable Rona Ambrose, President of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs and Minister of Western Economic Diversification, and Regina Rosemont MLA Joanne Crofford on behalf of Government Relations Minister Harry Van Mulligen.
"Canada's New Government is getting things done for people in the RM of Wreford. This investment in road resurfacing will provide safer, more convenient travel for tourists and agri-business," said Lukiwski. "Our government recognizes the importance of strong communities and we're committed to improving Canada's infrastructure."
"Having good roads is about more than safety, it's also about providing economic development opportunities to the residents of the RM of Wreford," Crofford said. "I am proud that our provincial government is contributing through MRIF because infrastructure projects like this one are making life better for Saskatchewan families."
"The commitment and financial assistance that both the federal and provincial governments allotted the RM of Wreford makes it possible to clay cap a road used for heavy tourism traffic and grain hauling to three terminals," RM of Wreford Deputy Reeve Ray Rintoul said. "The safety of our residents on our Saskatchewan roads is vital. This infrastructure makes safety a reality. On behalf of the entire RM of Wreford, we thank you for making this happen."
Under the initial MRIF Agreement, the federal and provincial governments committed a combined $76 million to the fund, with participating communities contributing one half of all costs, raising the total infrastructure investment above $152 million.
This year, Canada's New Government and the Government of Saskatchewan have provided an additional $14.9 million to the fund as part of their commitment to help smaller communities meet their infrastructure needs. This additional funding brings the total federal and provincial investment in MRIF projects to over $90.9 million.
These projects are an example of how MRIF is supporting a stronger, safer and better province through infrastructure projects that provide cleaner air and water, a stronger economy and a higher quality of life for our communities.
Before receiving final approval, community projects undergo a review process under both the Canadian Environment Assessment Act and The Environmental Assessment Act (Saskatchewan).
