The Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI)
Overview
Alberta’s municipalities are strong, vibrant places to live, work and raise a family. In 2007, the $11.3 billion MSI program was announced to provide predictable, sustainable funding for our province’s municipal infrastructure projects to keep our municipalities strong.
Since 2007, Alberta’s municipalities have been allocated $4.8 billion in MSI funding. This has meant communities across Alberta have been able to build or upgrade their public transit vehicles and facilities, recreation and sport facilities, roadways and bridges, and storm sewer systems, to name a few key projects chosen locally, based on priorities.
This website is dedicated to telling your community MSI story – and increasing the profile of the projects that are making Alberta’s communities even greater places to live.
