Allocations

Municipal Allocations Information

The Canada Community-Building Fund in Ontario (CCBF) Allocations

Per Capita Distribution:

• allocated by population; and
• split 50/50 between upper-tier and lower-tier municipalities.

Additional Funding:

• in 2017, extra funds were added from unused legacy programs;
• top-ups  (i.e., one-time doubling) were provided in 2019 and 2021.

Reserves:
  Occasionally, discrepancies arise between municipal reserves and allocations. These are due to:

• interest earned on the Fund being reinvested; and
• transfers between upper and lower tiers, as outlined in the Municipal Funding Agreement.

Confirmed Allocations Through 2028:

• based on 2021 Census data;
• the next Census will be published in early 2028; and
• future allocations (post-2028) will depend on whether a municipality’s population grows above or below the national average.

Fund Indexing:

• the Fund increases by 2% annually; and
• delivered in $100 million increments.
