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

The project will enhance 180m of the McLaughlin Road entrance sidewalk to a 3m wide multi-use trail will provide cyclists with a safer, protected entrance to campus that is not shared with bus transit routes. Road paint markings will be applied to refresh crosswalks and to identify lanes that are shared with automobiles. These measures will create safe and seamless active transportation connections throughout the campus.

The planning project is comprised of a series of activities that will focus on the integration of regional transit and housing, alignment with federal objectives and metrics, and engagement with stakeholders, including Indigenous peoples, to support the development of an Integrated Regional Plan.

A new community centre in Toronto, ON, that will be built to a net-zero design standard, will support the revitalization of an affordable housing community, and is co-located with a new child care centre. The new community centre includes 2 pools, a gym, multi-purpose community space, and social service agency space. It will be located centrally in the neighbourhood, adjacent to a public school, affordable housing, and a park.

The project includes the installation of new sidewalk along a busy collector road that has been identified by the municipality and active transportation plans since 2013. The specific installation involves: site excavation, building base, 1200m2 of concrete sidewalk, curb and gutter, backfilling and landscaping to affected areas. Key outputs include 1km of new sidewalk to support community safety and decrease vehicle use and subsequent emissions. The target population that will benefit most from this project include children and youth, as this collector serves as a vital walking route to nearby elementary and high schools with student populations of over 1,600.

As part of the flood reduction strategy for Jackson Creek, this project will replace the existing storm sewer with 100 year capacity storm sewer on Charlotte Street from Park Street to Water Street significantly reducing the impact of flooding in Peterborough's downtown core.

The Town of Saint Andrews, wants to install a new active transportation corridor along the southwestern side of Prince of Wales Street, from the intersection of King Street to Water Street at Indian Point Park. The project would include the widening of the street with the installation of new curb and sidewalk for 850 meters. In addition, the Town would like to install a new washroom facility and bike repair station at the end of the corridor to further support the community in active transportation activities, as the corridor leads to our largest park in the town.
