ReNew Canada’s Top 100 Projects report for 2012 includes 30 new projects, representing $29.7 billion worth of construction in Canada—almost equal to the $33 billion invested through the federal government’s Building Canada plan.

At just over $114 billion, the total of Canada’s Top 100 Projects has increased by 18 per cent over last year’s total.

In total, $47 billion was invested in energy infrastructure projects, $15.3 in health care projects, and $445 million on education. Roughly a third of the projects on the list were added this year, worth $30 billion in infrastructure investments.

Out of 100 projects, 60 are in urban centres, with 77 per cent ($39.4 billion) of funding for those projects coming from provincial governments and 13 per cent ($6.9 billion) coming from municipalities.

The country’s new biggest project is Toronto’s Eglinton Crosstown LRT Project, which increased in scope, sending it from number four last year (at $4.6 billion) to number one this year at $8.2 billion.
