This project entails upgrades to the Long Pond Breakwater that separates Conception Bay from Long Pond - the home of the Inner Harbour, Royal Newfoundland Yacht Club, Long Pond Harbour Authority, Community Park, and downtown business district, as well as private properties. Breakwater upgrades included in this project have been designed to withstand a 100-year storm with sea level rise considerations by the year 2100. The breakwater has been divided into segments, to ensure each segment is best constructed to withstand the unique wave action and offshore conditions observed in the Coastal Engineering Assessment which took place during 2022. Considerations were also made to ensure the asset can tolerate, and projected conditions for the next 75 years.

Develop a transit feasibility study to evaluate current and future transit solutions for the City of Dawson Creek, BC.

A series of projects in Mómeqwem were identified in the nation’s Active Transportation Plan (2021). The projects include the construction of multi-use pathways, sidewalks, a walking path, and a new active transportation bridge crossing at McLennan Creek. The projects will provide members with accessible and continuous walking and cycling
facilities that are safe, comfortable, and connect to destinations within the community.
Key outputs of the projects include:
•840 m of 3.0 m width new paved (asphalt) multi-use pathway
•250 m of 2.0 m width paved (asphalt or hardpacked gravel) pathway
•210 m of 2.0 m width new paved sidewalk
•A new, approximately 25 m long, 3 m wide single span bridge crossing for active transportation users (no vehicles)
•Associated landscaping and benches
•Associated streetlighting and signage
Increasing walking and cycling opportunities in our community is a long-term commitment for Matsqui First Nation to achieve safety, health, and wellness goals as they relate to transportation.

The Rotary Park Access Improvement and Revitalization Project aims to increase access to nature by constructing hybrid infrastructure and filling the shoreline with bird-attracting trees and shrubs to mitigate flooding, slow coastal erosion, and create a healthy and resilient riparian zone in a 20-acre salt marsh estuary home to over 120 bird species and a 4-acre riparian area, located near downtown Bouctouche.

This project will be the construction of a coastal natural infrastructure site ; a combination of a living shoreline, nearshore breakwater, tidal wetland, and raised dyke along 100m of Edgewater Street in Mahone Bay.

This project will use natural and hybrid infrastructure for the conversion of hardscape and urban heat island parking lot in the form of a rooftop garden by constructing a rooftop garden and balcony areas of approximately 8250 square feet, a green roof and the attendant irrigation, support, soil media and stormwater management systems, planting trees and plantings that are native to both Southern Ontario and Estonia with focus on biodiversity, greenery, apiary, pollinating gardens, bird habitat, and supporting it’s accessibility by installing design elements such as walkways, signage, benches, garbage bins and lighting.

This project will establish an Indigenous food forest and rain gardens at Cheakamus Centre fields school and ecological reserve to restore, enhance and better protect the campus’ 165 ha rich natural environment. The food forest will be a low-maintenance, self-sustaining natural space that will include interpretative signage to allow students and visitors to discover and contemplate in nature as well as revitalize traditional food and land-based knowledge.

The Village of Carmacks and LSCFN has been experiencing serious and disruptive flooding of the downtown core, several homes, cabins and fish camps, as well as essential services over the past several years. The Community Flooding in Carmacks and Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation project would create permanent flood mitigation structures in the community by raising a crucial roadway along River Drive, and building structural dikes along the Yukon River.
This project aims to prevent flooding of properties including the recreation complex and municipal services building, the health centre, fire hall and police station, as well as several homes and businesses. It would also see improvements to the communities wastewater treatment system, which has been infiltrated and overburdened in previous flooding events, leading to direct sewage discharge into the Yukon River, backups and boil water advisories.

Over two years, the planting of 1,150 trees will occur throughout the City of Saint John in line with our Common Council Priorities and Municipal Plan. Activities will include following the City's procurement procedure to engage a third party contractor to complete the project. Additionally City staff will work with the Atlantic Coastal Action Program (ACAP) to perform commissioning, testing and inventory to integrate these assets into our Asset Management Plan to perform lifecycle management.

The Short-Term Rental Enforcement Fund aims to limit short-term rentals that take away units from the long-term rental market across the country. This is accomplished by providing grant funding to municipalities and Indigenous communities with existing strict regulatory regimes to support the local enforcement of short-term rental restrictions in an effort to make more long-term housing units available in Canada.
