From the meeting
Council supported MFOA's request to the Ministry of Infrastructure to make the doubled Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) permanent before 2027 allocations. The issue is funding for municipal infrastructure renewal and state-of-good-repair backlogs. This is not a project award, but it is a clear grant-funding advocacy signal tied to future municipal capital work.
The key next step is the province's 2027 funding decision.
