Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan Invest in Beaver River Infrastructure

Released on February 5, 2015

The Rural Municipality of Beaver River will benefit from improved wastewater infrastructure thanks to joint federal and provincial funding announced today by Rob Clarke, Member of Parliament for Desnethé—Missinippi—Churchill River, on behalf Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification Michelle Rempel, and Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter. 

Thanks to the combined support of the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan, the RM of Beaver River will increase the number of subdivisions, households, industries and businesses that are connected to sanitary sewer systems. 

The Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan are each investing $267,216 through the Communities Component of the Building Canada Fund (BCF-CC), with the RM contributing the remaining balance of the $801,650 project. 

“Our government is committed to helping communities meet their infrastructure needs so that they can continue to grow and thrive,” Clarke said.  “With today’s announcement, we are demonstrating this commitment and helping to create jobs and growth, while providing a more sustainable and efficient wastewater treatment system.” 

“The Government of Saskatchewan recognizes the importance of investing in infrastructure projects that improve the quality of life for Saskatchewan residents,” Reiter said.  “We are pleased to be providing more than $267,000 to upgrade the RM of Beaver River’s wastewater treatment system, which will support continued growth and development in the RM.” 

“Rural Municipality of Beaver River 622 council and administration has been proactive in terms of dealing with unprecedented growth,” RM of Beaver River Chief Administrative Officer Rita Rogers said.  “Considerable effort has been made to accommodate growth areas, and to demonstrate our capacity and preparedness as we go forward.  This wastewater lagoon expansion will ensure that we are capable of accommodating the current and future needs of ratepayers and residents of the Rural Municipality of Beaver River 622 in an economical and environmentally sustainable way.” 

Since 2007, more than 150 municipal infrastructure projects have been funded by the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan under BCF-CC, benefitting thousands of Saskatchewan residents and their communities. 

This project is being funded using savings realized through previous BCF-CC projects coming in under budget, allowing dollars to be recommitted to additional initiatives.

The Building Canada Fund is being replaced by the New Building Canada Plan.
