This project will increase the quality of the local drinking water and provide adequate water storage. This program focuses on the long-term benefits of building a 21st century infrastructure and enhancing the quality of our environment. The upgrade will provide a safe, all weather road that borders a community pasture and leads directly to the Marion Heights Resort, Keddleston Beach, Highwood Beach, the Resort Village of Regina Beach and Kinookima Village. With contributions from the three levels of government, we can leverage greater investments to protect the environment and enhance the quality of life for residents in Saskatchewan. The program provides up to two-thirds of the eligible costs associated with community projects.
Communities provide the balance of project costs.
The first priority for infrastructure investment through the CSIP is green municipal projects such as water and wastewater developments and upgrades, solid waste management and recycling and improving the energy efficiency of buildings owned by municipal governments. Other priorities under the program include local transportation infrastructure, cultural and recreational facilities, infrastructure supporting tourism, rural and remote telecommunications, high-speed Internet access for local public institutions, and affordable housing. 189 Jim Hipkin commented. The road connects two municipalities and is traveled by area farmers, the Arm River Colony and full time commuters to properties on the west side of Last Mountain Lake.
