The Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RInC) Program has now ended and funding is no longer available.

What was the Recreational Infrastructure Canada program?

Launched in May 2009, the Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RInC) program was part of Canada’s Economic Action Plan, the Government of Canada’s multi-faceted plan to ensure recovery from the global economic downturn. RInC invested $500 million in recreational facilities across Canada over a two-year period. This national initiative provided a temporary economic stimulus that helped create jobs while renewing, upgrading and expanding recreational infrastructure in Canadian communities.

Allocated on a regional per capita basis, Western Economic Diversification Canada (WD) invested over $146 million in recreational infrastructure projects in the four western provinces.

What is the status of the Recreational Infrastructure Canada program?

The Recreational Infrastructure Canada program ended on October 31, 2011.

What has been accomplished?

WD approved 718 RInC projects, and all available project funds for Western Canada were expended.
