The work will involve creating a new asphalt trail and installing new vegetation, benches, and signs along the trail.<\/p><p>&#8220;Outdoor spaces are a key part of local infrastructure, and being outdoors in parks and trails has been critical during the pandemic,\u201d said Cambridge MP Bryan May. \u201cThis funding will rehabilitate the D&#8217;Aubigny Creek Trail, adding new features like benches and signage, making it easier to stay active and enjoy the trail. Congratulations to Brantford and I can&#8217;t wait to walk on the trail and see all the improvements.&#8221;<\/p><p>The COVID-19 Resilience Infrastructure Stream, implemented in response to the pandemic, allows the Government of Canada to invest up to 80% of eligible costs for projects in provinces, and up to 100% for projects in territories and Indigenous communities. The Province of Ontario will invest 20% of the eligible costs for projects across the province.<\/p><p>\u201cI am happy to see another project being funded jointly with our Federal Government partners to upgrade outdoor amenities that will help the community immensely\u201d, said Brantford-Brant MPP Will Bouma. \u201cI will always advocate for our community and we are grateful for the cooperation from all levels of government\u201d.<\/p><p>\u201cThe City of Brantford has a long tradition of providing public recreation, sport and cultural opportunities to residents and visitors in a variety of spaces that encourage healthy lifestyles and make our neighbourhoods inviting and unique\u201d said Brantford Mayor Kevin Davis. \u201cThe 2018 flood event in Brantford caused extensive damage by destroying trees, vegetation and damaging the city\u2019s renowned trail system.\u00a0We are truly grateful to our government partners for their significant contribution to help further restore the immensely popular\u00a0D&#8217;Aubigny Creek Trail in Brantford to\u00a0pre-flood condition.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>Quick Facts<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Through the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Plan, the Government of Canada is investing more than $180 billion over 12 years in public transit projects, green infrastructure, social infrastructure, trade and transportation routes, and Canada\u2019s rural and northern communities.<\/li><li>The Government of Canada has invested over $14.4 billion in more than 3,800 infrastructure projects across Ontario under the Investing in Canada plan.<\/li><li>Ontario is investing $10.2 billion under the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program to improve public transit; community, culture and recreation; green, and rural and northern community and other priority infrastructure.<\/li><li>Through the COVID-19 Resilience Infrastructure Stream, over $3 billion is available to provide provinces and territories with added flexibility to fund quick-start, short-term projects.<\/li><li>To support Canadians and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, the over $33-billion Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program now includes a COVID-19 Resilience Infrastructure Stream to help fund pandemic-resilient infrastructure.
