The survival of small rural communities depends on the retention of their amenities and a healthy community needs a well-designed, safe, functional, inviting recreation and sports facility.

Retrofit of a health centre in Massey, ON to support environmental stewardship by upgrading the building envelope and lighting, installing solar panels, and addressing a reoccurring flooding issue within the building’s basement by installing a waterproofing membrane on the building’s foundation walls.

The proposed project will make province-wide coastal hazard information and coastal floodplain maps broadly available to key decision-makers, infrastructure stakeholders, and the general public, with an aim to support infrastructure adaptation, reduce community vulnerability and increase resilience in a changing climate.

By working on the design and operation of the roadway, the Town will be able to ensure that the roadway design, traffic volume and usage, and the markings, signs, and signals all work in tandem to create a safe flow of traffic for everyone.

The objective of this planning project is to create an Action Plan for a safe, inclusive, bike and pedestrian friendly neighbourhood that is well connected to other communities in central Ottawa.

New Indigenous health and social facility in Iqaluit, NU to provide a home to three non-profit organizations: Qaujigiartiit Health Research Centre, Ilisaqsivik Society, and Tasiuqtigiit Hand-in-Hand Society.

New multi-purpose community facility in Winnipeg, MB to serve as a new community gateway to FortWhyte Alive, becoming a hub for immersive outdoor recreation and education experiences, and accessible to the people of Winnipeg and surrounding area.

Research and prepare, with public input, a design plan for a 1.15 km active transportation trail along PTH #44 in Lockport from the St. Andrews Lock and Dam (SALD) bridge to PTH #9.

The City of Kimberley’s paved pathway network is a vital corridor for the community. It promotes active transportation and access to community resources and recreation. Additionally this paved pathway network is part of the Trans Canada Trail connecting Kimberley to Cranbrook, an important connection encouraging active transportation between communities. At present there are five sections of paved pathways that provide access to City of Kimberley public services, amenities and residential communities. One of the currently undeveloped core connections is located between the current terminus of the Rails to Trails pathway at Rotary Drive through to the core of Kimberley. The ideal solution to creating this 3km connection is to utilize the existing, non-active rail bed as well as the trestle bridge passing over Highway 95A. Completing this section of paved pathway would provide safe access to a diversity of users via a largely un-interrupted, separated non-motorized greenway to the downtown core, provide access to and from the current section of pathway leading from the Townsite community, Kimberley’s Selkirk High School and numerous other public services, and amenities. The goals of this project are to: 1)Determine feasibility of the identified route 2)Seek input from stakeholders 3)Determine funding needs

Retrofit of Canada Games Complex to reduce energy use and emissions and increase user comfort in the facility through upgrades to the boiler plant, digital control system, and change rooms.
