NRC Funding Renewed

The National Research Council’s Centre for Sustainable Infrastructure Research (NRC-CSIR) received renewed funding from the federal government on January 20th. Minister of State for Science and Technology Gary Goodyear came to Regina to announce the $4 million funding renewal for the Centre.

“The vital services that infrastructure provides, such as safe drinking water, and safe and durable bridges, are the lifelines of our neighbourhoods, our cities, our towns and our rural communities,” said Minister Goodyear during the media conference at the announcement.

CT President John Lee also attended the announcement, to celebrate the new funding for NRC, who is a founding partner of Communities of Tomorrow. He described the research and development flowing out of the NRC Centre as critical to CT’s mandate.

“What it allows us to do is take unique challenges and problems that municipalities are facing and allow researchers and businesses to come up with new innovative solutions for those problems,” John said.
