The Public Infrastructure Renewal – Sports, Culture and Tourism Partnerships Initiative (SCTP) was launched in December 2000. Its purpose is to invest in sports, culture and tourism infrastructure through renewing, enhancing and improving municipally-owned or endorsed local sport, recreation, culture and tourism facilities, and major cultural and tourist attractions owned by provincial or not-for-profit organizations.

The SCTP Initiative is currently managing a number of approved projects scheduled to be completed by March 2008 and is not accepting new applications.

Some of the projects supported under this initiative include:

• Art Gallery of Ontario
• Art Gallery of Hamilton
• Muskoka Wharf-Gravenhurst
• Royal Conservatory of Music
• Royal Ontario Museum
• Sault Ste. Marie Memorial Gardens
