The key differentiating elements of Infrastructure 2006

• We have the active support of 16 key industry associations who represent buyers of your products. They will be aggressively promoting the event to all of their members.

• The event will feature a range of educational seminars that will provide timely information to all professionals involved in infrastructure development and renewal. Members of supporting associations will participate on an Advisory Committee to identify key issues of interest to professionals who authorize and influence public works and infrastructure spending.

• We already have a proven track record with Construct Canada and Concrete Canada. The 2^nd annual conference on Infrastructure Funding at last year’s Construct Canada attracted a large audience that was eager to hear about Infrastructure 2006.

Infrastructure Statistics

Spending Forecast
Statistics Canada with estimation by CanaData, a product line of Reed Construction Data

• Infrastructure related activity represents a major part of the Canadian construction market.

• Aside from the $34 billion in projected expenditures in 2006, it is estimated that Canada’s infrastructure debt is $60 billion and growing by $2-3 billion annually.

• Over the last decade, the Government of Canada has committed close to $12 billion in new funds for infrastructure projects across the country. These funds are expected to leverage $30 billion in total investments by all partners. This will be complemented by $4 billion to $5 billion in gas tax funding by 2009 to support sustainable infrastructure investments.

• Fifty percent of Canada’s infrastructure systems have reached eighty percent of their serviceable life. Public buildings, bridges, roads, and water treatment, waste and energy management systems across Canada are in need of repair, renovation, or replacement. Infrastructure renewal has become a priority for all levels of government – federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal – as well as businesses and infrastructure related associations and organizations
