Infrastructure Canada Projects Watch

Infrastructure Canada (now part of Department of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities) publishes the FULL project list for every federally- co-funded infrastructure project — water, transit, roads, social housing, green infrastructure, broadband, recreation. The CSV refreshes weekly. Each row carries: project title, program (ICIP / NTCF / DMAF / GIF / etc.), category (water/transit/roads/etc.), location, federal contribution $, total eligible cost, ultimate recipient, approved date, forecasted construction start, forecasted construction end. This product filters those rows to a specified metro region (default: Calgary metro per `cci_utils/city_profiles.py`) and ships a curated weekly Excel with two tabs: "Active Pipeline" (forecasted to start in the next 24 months) and "Recent Approvals" (approved in the last 365 days, regardless of construction status).

- Calgary GCs / civil contractors hunting federal-flagged projects that haven't gone to tender yet (lead time before procurement) - Materials suppliers targeting the named ultimate-recipient (municipality, regional district, First Nation, etc.) - Engineering consultants positioning ahead of project mobilization - Federal-grant compliance accountants and consultants - Infrastructure-asset M&A advisors tracking municipal capex
