Community Infrastructure

The long term goal of the Community Infrastructure division is to provide all communities in Nunavut with a full complement of basic and supporting infrastructure. This will allow communities to become self-sufficient as well as economically, socially and culturally prosperous.

The mandate of the Community Infrastructure division is to secure and allocate funding for community infrastructure projects. The division must do so in an equitable, fair and transparent manner, balancing community needs and regulatory requirements while working with stakeholders and partners in the communites as well as Federal, Provincial and Territorial levels of government. 

The division achieves its goals through the capital planning process, which ensures that critical infrastructure gaps are identified, priority projects are brought to the forefront and essential infrastructure is provided for each community. The NCIAC (Nunavut Community Infrastructure Advisory Committee) provides oversight for projects funded through the Gas Tax fund.
