The federal and provincial governments have announced more than 81 million dollars in joint funding for 23 infrastructure projects across Saskatchewan.

From the investment, Esterhazy, Unity, Meadow Lake and other communities will benefit from improved access to reliable water supplies.

Wastewater treatment facilities will be upgraded and expanded in Humboldt, Oxbow and Grenfell.

Other communities will benefit from projects that decommission landfills or provide flood prevention.

Recreation projects include upgrades to the Rexentre Arena in Fort Qu’Appelle, used by many communities in the area.
