Municipal Programs
Rural Impact Canada offers innovative programs designed to address the unique and common infrastructure challenges faced by small and rural municipalities. Our programs focus on sustainable infrastructure development and operations through the use of municipal service corporations.
Program
Municipal Service Corporation
Municipal Service Corporations (MSCs) is our foundational program and represents a service model that small and rural municipalities can adopt to address housing and other municipal servicing needs. Our Municipal Service Corporation Program provides the Tool Kit and expert guidance to small and rural municipalities to establish their own MSC.
The need to create a MSC is specific for each municipality. Our program recognizes that MSCs are provincially regulated and are governed differently across Canada. Taking all of this into consideration, our program is designed to cater to the needs and goals of each individual municipality. Currently, our Program is available for Ontario based municipalities.

The Communal Municipal Utility Program is our flagship program designed for small and rural municipalities to overcome water and wastewater infrastructure barriers in order to support housing and development. This program provides planning and implementation guidance, education on innovative technologies, and expert advice to develop essential services related to communal water and wastewater management. The program will help municipalities either implement our solution through the creation or extension of an MSC or join another existing MSC for implementing the solution.
