Through the Canada Infrastructure Bank's Indigenous Community Infrastructure Initiative, Malahat Nation has acquired almost $58 million in funding for comprehensive infrastructure projects. One of these upgrades will be in the form of a new wastewater treatment facility. The existing system is almost 30 years old and is at capacity.
The new system will replace failing septic beds and better protect local ground water, the ecosystem and shellfish beds in Saanich Inlet according to statements released.
