Bennett Jones is proud to have played a key role in advising on 10 standout projects listed in ReNew Canada’s 2026 Top100 Infrastructure Projects Report. Together, these projects represent more than $36 billion in infrastructure investment across Canada.

Our work spans several provinces: in British Columbia, we provided legal guidance on five projects with a combined value exceeding $16 billion. In Ontario, we advised on two major initiatives worth a total of $7.1 billion, in addition to the ALTO rail network, which links Quebec and Toronto and is valued at over $4 billion. In Alberta, we assisted on two projects, totaling more than $8 billion.

As Canada’s federal and provincial governments double down on their investments in large-scale projects, Bennett Jones remains steadfast in our commitment to supporting infrastructure development and helping our clients bring these transformative projects to life.

The 2026 Top100 Infrastructure Projects Report highlights projects from across a variety of sectors, including energy (hydroelectric, transmission, nuclear and natural gas), transit (LRT, rail, BRT and subway), building (healthcare, military, social and public infrastructure), transportation (highways, bridges and ports) and other sectors such as water, wastewater, remediation and communications.

Here are the 10 infrastructure projects we advised on, as featured in the report:

No.  Project Name Project Type Amount
 13. Calgary Green Line LRT LRT  $6.25 billion
 14. Iona Island Wastewater Treatment Plant Projects Water/Wastewater  $6 billion
