TORONTO, November 15, 2011 – The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships (CCPPP) today announced the 2011 Award Winners for Innovation and Excellence in public-private partnership infrastructure development in Canada.

According to Mark Romoff, CEO, CCPPP, this year's award winners are a true testament that Canada is leading in the use of P3s or AFPs, Alternative Financing and Procurement, as they are known in Ontario, to deliver infrastructure and services faster and with better value to communities that are in high demand for renewal and investment.

"These P3 projects saved Canadian tax payers hundreds of millions of dollars and at the same time delivered much needed infrastructure, quality jobs, and social benefits to society," said Romoff.

Gold Award Winners
Surrey Pretrial Services Centre – a $90 million Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certified correctional facility developed to help reduce overcrowding in the existing facility and improve the correctional environment.

Sea to Sky Highway – a $600 million project to improve the safety, sightlines and slope stabilization of the 95 kilometre long section of Highway 99 highway from West Vancouver to Whistler, B.C. L'Adresse Symphonique – a $259 million new acoustic concert hall in Montreal that provided $46.8 million in cost savings.
