The Ontario government is investing $911,791 to help renew and rehabilitate critical infrastructure in the Township of Uxbridge.
The funding will be delivered in 2025 through the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) and is part of the government’s $190 billion capital plan to expand and build more homes, highways, hospitals, transit and high-speed internet across the province.
“Our government is committed to Rebuilding Ontario’s Economy by investing in projects that build strong and resilient communities. Today, I’m proud to announce $911,791 for critical infrastructure upgrades in Uxbridge, alongside up to $28,437 through the Rural Economic Development program,” said Peter Bethlenfalvy, MPP for Pickering-Uxbridge. “These investments will enhance local infrastructure, support economic growth, and position Uxbridge for future prosperity.”

The Ontario government is also investing in Uxbridge through the Rural Economic Development (RED) Program to continue the revitalization of the Downtown area. Uxbridge will receive up to $28,438 which will allow the township to engage in marketing activities to promote Lower Brock as part of Downtown Uxbridge. This will include developing a community profile for prospective investors and refreshing the Brock Street Heritage Guidelines for the area, said a provincial statement.
“Thank you to MPP Peter Bethlenfalvy and the province for its continued investment in Uxbridge” said Dave Barton, Mayor of the Township of Uxbridge. “From critical infrastructure projects to downtown revitalization initiatives, the multitude of funding received from this government is what helps advance rural communities like ours. The province’s support through the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund and the Rural Economic Development Program, play crucial roles in helping us meet our development goals.”
