Public Sector Professionals

You have great vision for your community and understand its infrastructure needs. Whether to add, expand, modernize or replace your infrastructure, we can help you turn your ambition into reality. Let’s work together to get more infrastructure benefiting your constituents.

How we work with public sector partners

We work with municipal and provincial levels of government, our federal partners, and other public sector organizations to discover projects that are stuck and need an innovative financing solution to get shovel-ready. Our investments help children get to school, municipalities to reduce transit fleet maintenance costs and farmers to feed cities. We take a long-term view and can consider flexible financing terms, patient risk capital, and other innovative structuring to make projects more attractive for private and institutional lenders.

Here are some of the public sector entities that we’ve worked with

Calgary Transit | City of Brampton | City of Brandon | City of Calgary | City of Edmonton | City of Ottawa | City of Richmond | Durham Region | Durham Region Transit | Government of Alberta | Government of Canada | Government of Newfoundland and Labrador | Government of Northwest Territories | Government of Québec | Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada | OC Transpo | Ontario Power Generation | Province of Manitoba | Transport Canada | University of Toronto | VIA Rail Canada | York Region | York Region Transit
