On June 5, 2009, the Canadian and Ontario governments announced a joint investment of $1.85 billion for infrastructure projects to create jobs and help stimulate the economy. For municipal projects, the federal and provincial governments each contribute up to one third of eligible costs, with municipalities contributing one third, so thal all parties share the City program's $145 million total cost. Projects focus primarily on the rehabilitation of existing assets such as water, wastewater, public transit, highways, roads, culture, parks and trails. Mississauga's approved 132 ISF projects must be completed by March 31, 2011 to be eligible for funding.
