The Tourism Capital Program preserves and enhances Ontario's investment in tourism infrastructure. The Ministry manages the infrastructure development commitments of the province's $300 million, five-year capital infrastructure initiative - the Sports, Culture and Tourism Partnership program, and through its own infrastructure responsibilities, is responsible for rehabilitating provincially owned and operated assets which serve as economic catalysts. The funding to the Ministry's agencies, attractions and convention centres allows them to undertake basic repairs and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure, including renovations, building code upgrades, security improvements and statutory/regulatory compliance, to help them remain competitive.
