Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI)
On September 14, 2007, Mayor Bronconnier signed the Municipal Sustainability Initiative agreement with the Province, the most significant new funding arrangement in the history of Alberta.

The MSI agreement will bring some $3.3 billion in ‘no strings’ funding to Calgary from 2007 to 2017– the equivalent of the provincial property tax paid by Calgarians, now being returned to Calgarians to help pay for infrastructure projects that are long overdue.

The table below shows how the MSI is allocated over the life of the program.
