Federal Gas Tax Funding

The Federal Government has committed to extend Federal Gas Tax Funding for an additional 4 years (2010 to 2014). This provides Canadian municipalities with an additional $2 billion per year under the Building Canada Plan, for environmentally sustainable infrastructure.

Municipalities can provide this funding to projects that promote cleaner water, cleaner air, or reduced green house gas emissions and help address a massive, province wide infrastructure deficit.

Each year the City's annual capital and current budgets includes projects funded at least in part through this program.

Outcomes Report:  The Municipal Funding Agreement for the transfer of federal gas tax revenues under the new deal for cities and communities requires municipalities to demonstrate measurable environmental outcomes.

An Outcomes Report must be completed and submitted to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario for each project completed by the City of Pickering under this program. Contact us to obtain a copy of any Outcomes Report.
