Our thanks to Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship @MarcMillerVM for joining the Big City Mayors’ Caucus this afternoon.

Our Government announced over $11 million through the Rapid Housing Initiative to build 35 supportive housing units.
We are quickly providing new affordable housing for people who need them most.
And we are doing it with driven partners like @choicesforyouth and @StellasCircle.

📣 Thank you to our government partners @CityofStJohns @GovNL Government of Canada 🇨🇦 for your support of the 205th running of the Royal St. John’s Regatta.

Municipalities own or oversee more than 60% of Canada’s public infrastructure, and are the closest order of government to the daily lives of Canadians. As the federal government prepares to share more details about the next generation of infrastructure in Canada, it is critical that municipalities join other orders of government in those discussions.
Canada’s future growth runs through communities and cities. Smart investments in core infrastructure are critical if we’re going to build more housing, better public transit, and improve basic amenities such as water and wastewater. All orders of government need to work together.
