Infrastructure Lending

Our Loan Program has helped support more than $18 billion in local infrastructure investments across Ontario. It provides affordable, long-term financing to public sector clients, allowing them to modernize and renew their infrastructure.

We have helped hundreds of clients deliver thousands of community projects in all parts of the province. Our Loan Program has been used to revitalize roads and bridges, build new recreation centres and affordable housing units, and purchase equipment like fire trucks and energy-efficient streetlights.

We tailor our loans to meet the unique needs and complex development challenges of municipalities, housing providers, universities and other eligible public sector clients. All borrowers within each sector share the same affordable rates and benefits of the Loan Program regardless of their size or location.

Each loan is different but its impact is the same: efficient, healthier and more prosperous communities across Ontario.
