The windfall is from last year's budget surplus. Municipalities across Ontario will share in $1.1 billion announced by Premier Dalton McGuinty at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario conference in Ottawa. In the same announcement, municipalities were warned this funding boost won't be duplicated next year.
The funding assists municipalities like Kingston, which are
struggling with infrastructure deficits. The city is short $17 million
for road upgrades this year alone.
