Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB)

The Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) is a federal Crown corporation established in 2017 to invest in revenue-generating infrastructure projects that deliver economic, environmental, and social benefits for Canadians. Headquartered in Toronto, the CIB operates to mobilize private and institutional capital to complement public funding—helping accelerate the delivery of transformative projects across Canada. It focuses on five key sectors: public transit, clean power, green infrastructure, trade and transportation, and broadband connectivity. The bank typically provides financing through loans, equity investments, and other innovative structures, aiming to make projects more financially viable while sharing risks with private partners. The CIB also prioritizes projects that advance climate action, Indigenous participation, and sustainable economic growth. By leveraging its CAD 35 billion investment mandate, the CIB plays a central role in modernizing Canada’s infrastructure and fostering long-term resilience in critical sectors.
