The governments of Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador, alongside the Inuit Community Government of Nain, have announced a combined investment of approximately $3.9 million to upgrade the sanitary sewer system in Nain. Funded through the Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund—which allocates $123.1 million to Newfoundland and Labrador—the project involves replacing damaged sewer mains and manholes, installing inflow protectors, and completing surface grading. These upgrades are designed to reduce sewer backup risks, protect local marine ecosystems, improve climate resilience, and support future population growth and housing development in the community.
