The Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF) aims to help communities across Canada build and improve community infrastructure projects so they can rebound from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The Fund will provide support to:

1. adapt community spaces and assets so that they may be used safely in accordance with local public-health guidelines
2. build or improve community infrastructure to encourage Canadians to re-engage in and explore their communities and regions.

Eligible projects will be prioritized in the following order:

• revitalize downtown cores and main streets
• reinvent outdoor spaces
• create green infrastructure
• increase the accessibility of community spaces

Further priority will be given to projects that:

• are shovel ready
• bring in other partners to leverage project funding
• are of a smaller scope, where the project will be completed quickly so the program benefits will be shared broadly
• help communities rebound from the effects of the pandemic and contribute to the reanimation of communities, towns and cities
• can demonstrate measurable direct or indirect social-economic benefits
• encourage the participation of under-represented groups and take into consideration the unique challenges of rural and remote communities
