[Perth-Wellington]— The Ontario government is investing $570,053 between 2026 and 2028 to complete upgrades and repairs at the Canadian Mental Health Association Huron Perth – Addiction and Mental Health Services, creating a safer, more comfortable space for people and their families to connect to care and services, close to home. This funding is part of Ontario’s broader investment of nearly $15 million through the Community Infrastructure Fund (CIRF) to support infrastructure upgrades, maintenance and repairs at 67 community health service providers across the province.
“The Canadian Mental Health Association Huron Perth – Addiction and Mental Health Services plays a vital role in supporting individuals and families across Perth County,” said MPP Rae. “This investment will help strengthen the organization’s ability to deliver high-quality mental health and addiction services, ensuring more people can access the care and support they need close to home.”
The Community Infrastructure Renewal Fund enables health-care system partners to address their urgent infrastructure needs including upgrading or replacing roofs, windows, security systems, fire alarms and emergency generators. Since 2018, the Ontario government has doubled its investment through the Community Infrastructure Renewal Fund, allowing more community-based health service providers to repair and modernize their infrastructure and preserve their operational capacity.
“Our government is making historic investments to protect Ontario’s health-care system, ensuring that more people in Perth and Huron counties can connect to the care they need, where and when they need it,” said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “This investment will enable the Canadian Mental Health Association Huron Perth – Addiction and Mental Health Services to address priority infrastructure needs so patients and their families can continue to access vital services and care in their community.”
Over the next 10 years, Ontario is investing approximately $64 billion in major health infrastructure. This is part of the government’s plan to get shovels in the ground on more than 50 major hospital projects across the province, which will deliver approximately 3,000 new hospital beds to enhance access to quality care and build a connected, people-first health-care system.
Through Your Health: A Plan For Connected and Convenient Care, Ontario is expanding and modernizing hospitals and building new health-care facilities, making it faster and easier for people of all ages to connect to the high-quality care they need, where and when they need it.
