Some local communities will be getting a boost in support from a major provincial fund.
Premier Doug Ford and Infrastructure Minister Laurie Scott have announced $200-million through the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund, to help 424 small, rural, and northern communities "build and repair critical local infrastructure, including roads, bridges, water and wastewater infrastructure".
According to government figures, that includes $270,157 for Wawa - up from the $161,743 provided through OCIF last year - while Chapleau will get $138,091, up from $117,778 in 2019.
Dubreuilville will see only a slight bump - from $94,077 to $94,414 - while White River's getting an even smaller increase, rising from $131,812 to $131,969.
The amounts are based on a formula.
