COVID-19 Resilience Infrastructure Stream (CVRIS) Projects
The Government of Canada is adapting the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program to respond to the impacts of COVID-19. The Program, delivered through bilateral agreements with provinces and territories, is being adjusted to add some flexibilities, expand project eligibility, and accelerate approvals.
A new temporary COVID-19 Resilience stream (CVRIS), with over $3 billion available in existing funding, has been created to provide provinces and territories with added flexibility to fund quick-start and short-term projects that might not otherwise be eligible under the existing funding streams.
The Toronto Catholic District School board (TCDSB) has received over $25.6 million in CVRIS funding to support over 430 school infrastructure projects.
TCDSB school infrastructure projects funded in part by the Governments of Canada and Ontario via the CVRIS program include:
Child Care updates:
7 playground expansions/divisions
