The proposed project includes upgrading cycling facilities to meet All Ages and Abilities (AAA) infrastructure standards as laid out in the B.C. Active Transportation Design Guide and enhancing some off-street pathway connections, including: • Boundary Road to Holdom Avenue and Kensington Avenue to Cliff Avenue: Upgrade signage, pavement markings, speed humps, intersection improvements at five locations. • Kensington Park from Holdom Avenue to Fell Avenue: New 4.0m multi-use pathway on the south side of the street, including new curb and gutter, urban drainage system, and new streetlights on the south side of the street. • Fell Avenue to Hastings Street to Hammarskjold Drive to Kensington Avenue: Multi-use pathway upgrades including pathway widening and lighting along select segments. • Union Street from Kensington Avenue to Duthie Avenue: Local street bikeway upgrades. • Duthie Avenue from Union Street to Hastings Street: New protected bicycle lanes. • Hastings Street/Burnaby Mountain Parkway from Duthie Avenue to Centennial Way: Remove existing parking and construct a 4.5m multi-use pathway along the south side. • Burnaby Mountain Parkway from Centennial Way to Gaglardi Way: Reallocate existing southbound/eastbound travel lane and painted bike lane into a multi-use path on the south side.

The Project is to complete construction of the Great Beech Hill Trail (GBHT) located in Sackville Lakes Provincial Park, Nova Scotia. The park is an important regional park because of its location and planned linkages of its trails in the regional and Provincial network of Active Transportation trails.

Purchase a zero-emissions vehicle to provide increased on-demand, door-to-door transportation service for Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area C in British Columbia.

The project will construct a 180 meter pathway, install solar powered lighting and fencing that will connect Sus Avenue to William Konkin Elementary School. The proposed pathway will reduce travel distance by more than seven times and result in walking to school requiring less travel time than driving. The reduced walking time will result in more people choosing to walk rather than be driven to school.

The Town developed its Active Transportation plan (ATP) in 2016 which identifies 6,700 meters of trial required to connect both the old and new areas of Penhold. The development of an additional 1,000 meters of trail at the recreational lands would provide connectivity through the entire town.

As described by the applicant, this project seeks to redevelop and widen 556 metres of asphalt recreation trail to a 3 or 4 meter width, replace over 240 metres of boardwalks, 95 meters of a span pedestrian bridge, foot bridges and rest areas, construct intuitive wayfinding and interpretive signage in Whitby, Ontario. The Town will be able to replace these assets with safe accessible structures and enhance the waterfront by improving the multi-use trail to accommodate different users and abilities, safety and increase the trail capacity. This will be achieved by widening the pathway and taking measures to reduce and/or protect from hazards such as poor sightlines, steep slopes, eroded embankments and trail deterioration caused by climate, expired life-cycles and other environmental impacts.

Communities across Canada that have a significant issue with homelessness and will have increased supports for their vulnerable populations through Reaching Home. This is accomplished by mobilizing partners at the federal, provincial/territorial and community levels, as well as the private and voluntary sectors, and other stakeholders, to address barriers to well-being faced by those who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness.

Action Research on Chronic Homelessness will identify actions needed to end chronic homelessness by exploring ways to break down persistent barriers encountered by communities across Canada. This is accomplished by providing direct funding to eight communities across Canada and mobilizing collaborators at the federal, provincial/territorial and community levels, as well as the private sectors, to address barriers encountered by communities to preventing and reducing chronic homelessness through the Community Capacity and Innovation funding stream under Reaching Home.
