Grants and Contributions

Purchase of 2 gas/diesel buses to support transit for Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia.

The Project will improve the City’s flood resilience by upgrading culverts, remediating the naturalized shoreline, and upgrading water, sewer and storm sewer pipes; and will improve the electrical network resilience by undergrounding powerlines. Once completed, the Project will prepare key infrastructure for hazards related to more frequent and severe weather events including wind and ice damage, as well as flooding.

Purchase of 2 gas/diesel vans, 2 gas/diesel mini-buses, bus shelters, some safety equipment, and software to support transit for Lac Seul First Nation, Ontario.

The retrofit of a cultural building in Thorold, ON will support the creation of a fully accessible cultural hub to showcase its valuable collection of historical artifacts. A new HVAC system will provide energy efficient heating and cooling of the building, as well as the ability to regulate the humidity in the building which is critical to the preservation of the Museum’s culture-rich collection of artifacts. The building design will also include public washrooms and warming/cooling center capabilities.

The project is to rebuild approximately 19 acres of the John Clarke Wetland by replacing steel weir and rock armoring to retain the same wetland acreage.
This will reduce flooding, improve water quality as well as act as a nutrient and sediment sink which will protect surround agricultural operations. The project will also benefit the areas waterfowl, wildlife and the environment.

O'Chiese is looking to plan and design sidewalks in the core area of the Community and in other areas that have heavier pedestrian traffic. The plan will seek to improve safety for pedestrians in an area where there have been a number of severe incidents.The plan and design will assist in preparing for a capital project in the future.

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.

The Larsen Family Care Centre project redevelops a community centre in Winnipeg's Elmwood neighbourhood so it can serve the community. It will be Manitoba's first dedicated, Indigenous-led Family Care Centre as well as a community drop-in space, offering family-strengthening and youth programs, a welcoming gathering place, a round room and access to green space that can also be used for ceremony.
It will offer a range of family resources, supports and programs to nurture children and keep families safe and strong. The project builds on the success of Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata's Family Group Conferencing program that has a 96.5% success rate of keeping families together.
The project will see the existing building retrofitted with the addition of a ceremony room, update mechanical systems to improve energy efficiency over National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB) targets, increase accessibility and improve safety. It will create opportunities to build a more vibrant, inclusive community for all, where people are healthy and thriving.

Retrofit of an ageing art gallery in Fredericton, New Brunswick that provides cultural and education services to the local community. It includes the replacement of the building's roof, exterior walls, insulation, and doors.

The proposed project includes the resiliency improvement of a three span CPS culvert bridge structure which was deemed to be in poor structural condition. The culverts cross the South Branch of the Raisin River at McConnell Ave, which is a main arterial road adjacent to the 401 highway. The plan is to replace/improve the three combined corrugated steel pipes (CSP) that make up this structure with a single CON/SPAN concrete culvert. The goal is mitigate the risk of flooding in the area by improving the structural resiliency to stand up to the increase of severe weather events that Canada is experiencing(1). Galvanized CSP culverts are estimated to have a service life of up to 50 years(2) but a study from the Geotechnical Service Unit, Michigan Department of State Highways and Transportation evaluated results show that 10% of CSP culverts between the ages of 10-14 years old showed signs of being serious corrosion(3). To improve the resiliency of the structure, a CON/SPAN concrete
