Ontario Building Critical Infrastructure in Tecumseh

By: Matt Weinagrden, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, Lakeshore News Reporter

The Town of Tecumseh is set to benefit from a major infrastructure boost thanks to a $1,968,740 investment from the Ontario government. Delivered through the 2026 Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF), the funding is part of a broader $200 billion provincial capital plan aimed at strengthening local economies, supporting job creation, and ensuring communities have the infrastructure they need to thrive.

“This nearly $2 million in OCIF funding will help improve vital infrastructure—ensuring it remains safe, reliable, and ready to support growth,” said Andrew Dowie, MPP for Windsor–Tecumseh. “It’s about making sure Tecumseh continues to be a place where families can live, work, and thrive for years to come.”

The OCIF allocation will support the renewal and rehabilitation of key infrastructure such as roads, bridges, water systems, and stormwater management. In 2026, the province will distribute $400 million through OCIF to 423 small, rural, and northern communities. The minimum grant amount for municipalities will rise from $100,000 to $125,000, with funding formulas tailored to each community’s needs and economic conditions.

“Small, rural and northern communities are essential to the growth and prosperity of Ontario,” said Kinga Surma, Minister of Infrastructure. “With our record investments across all infrastructure programs, we’re driving an unprecedented wave of construction to make communities stronger, keep workers on the job, and drive economic growth for generations to come.”

Tecumseh Mayor Gary McNamara welcomed the funding, noting its alignment with the town’s strategic priorities. “This investment supports our efforts to maintain current service levels and plan for future growth,” he said. “We’re grateful to the Ontario government for recognizing Tecumseh’s needs and investing in our future.”

The OCIF supports municipalities with populations under 100,000, as well as Local Services Boards that own water or wastewater systems. Since 2018, the province has provided $2.8 billion through OCIF to help small communities tackle infrastructure challenges.

In addition to OCIF, Ontario is investing $4 billion in the Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program (MHIP), aimed at unlocking new housing developments and supporting core infrastructure in growing communities.

With this latest investment, Tecumseh is poised to continue building a resilient and sustainable future—one road, pipe, and bridge at a time.
