Canada-Ontario Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund

The Canada-Ontario Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund's (COMRIF) goal is to help residents in Ontario's small urban centres and rural municipalities (populations of 250,000 or less) enjoy a quality of life that's second to none. This is done through infrastructure investments that:

• enhance and renew Ontario's aging public infrastructure;
• improve the quality of the environment;
• protect the health and safety of citizens;
• support long-term economic growth; and
• build strong, sustainable communities by giving municipalities the tools they need.

COMRIF responds to local needs and priorities by helping to provide cleaner water, better sewage systems, upgraded waste management processes, and safer roads and bridges. The overall aim is to support "green" projects that meet Canada's and Ontario's environmental objectives, while improving the health and safety of Ontario residents.
