The Loan Program is one of Ontario’s financing approaches to help municipalities and other public-sector partners renew Ontario's public infrastructure. IO loans provide affordable, long-term financing in support of infrastructure development.
With more than 440 public-sector clients, the Loan Program has helped finance various types of infrastructure projects such as the construction of roads, bridges, arena complexes, and long-term care homes, and the acquisition and installation of capital assets like fire trucks and energy-efficient lighting.
Modern and efficient public infrastructure is key to building a strong economy, prosperous communities and creating jobs.
