The Canadian government has invested $5.2 million in 70 adaptation projects across the country. One of the beneficiaries is the community of Munster, which received funding to assess the state of its assets. Mayor Sylvestre stated that the community is always looking for government grants, as its small taxation base of around 200 houses limits its project funding. The assessment will help the community prioritize projects and apply for more grant streams in the future, such as the Green Municipal Fund and the Canadian Housing Infrastructure Fund (CHIF). Currently, there are no major projects planned, but the community is focusing on regular maintenance. Sylvestre emphasized the importance of these funds in visualizing future spending and planning. The community is hopeful to apply for the next round of funding and has a list of potential projects in mind, but nothing is set in stone yet.
