Supported by a $167-million federal investment, the FCM-run program supports municipalities in lowering the carbon emissions from community buildings such as arenas, pools, libraries and recreation and cultural centres.

The agency has committed up to $655 million toward construction of a $1.7-billion project that will connect Ontario’s electricity grid with a regional transmission organization in the US. Part of the project involves running a transmission line under Lake Erie.

Of the 41 projects listed in the document, only three are new. Two more have shifted further along in the procurement process. The combined value of the works listed in the document exceeds $60 billion.

The companies will transform the 67-year-old Golden Mile shopping centre on Eglinton Avenue in Toronto into a mixed-use, mixed-income transit-oriented community. Phase one of the work will include two condominium towers, and a purpose-built market rental building.

The association says now is the time for the federal government to change the way in which public infrastructure projects are determined and funded.
