Grants and Contributions

Applicant seeks funding to construct/install 1.6km of active transportation upgrades to existing street, including:
• Two-way protected bicycle lane,
• Curb extensions,
• Landscaped boulevard separation with pollinator plantings,
• Street trees,
• Floating bus stops,
• Signal modifications,
• Pedestrian centre median refuge island

This trail, once completed, will connect Gander's newly constructed school and multiplex to the centre of town. Additionally, there is a crosswalk at the school that leads to an existing municipal park with a 5 km boardwalk. The additional funding we hope to receive will be instrumental in providing seniors, children and disabled persons a safe way to walk a continuous 8 km trail.

The applicant, the Town of Kingsville(ON) seeks funding to reconstruct an existing roadway including new curbs and gutters to install a new multi-use pathway with enhancements. The length of the project is 3.65km. The purpose of this project is to improve safety for AT users by separating them from motor-vehicle traffic, improve lighting along the AT route for further security/safety, and allow for connectivity to a future school project located in the area (supporting populations Youth/Parents etc.).

The proposed project is a 1.4 km multi-use pathway that will provide residents and visitors an accessible, separated, multi-use facility to walk, cycle, and roll safely between community destinations on I.R. #4. The multi-use pathway will be the first of its kind on I.R. #4. In addition to enhancing transportation options for residents, the pathway could also benefit economic development and tourism by diversifying recreation options and creating connections to recreation and community amenities.

The project will construct about 400 meters of multi-use pathway/trail along with installing park benches in Porcupine Pine, Saskatchewan. The construction of the pathways would create connection between residential areas and the main business district, important community services and the Larwood-Shaw Memorial Swimming Pool which is currently under construction.

This project aims to produce and implement new episodes of Isla Maganda, a customized educational entertainment program for the Philippines. The educational program uses cartoons to teach children peace education and social-emotional learning. It seeks to instill positive values in kindergarten to grade three students during their most formative years of development by promoting foundational elements for peace, such as the rule of law, gender equality, non-violence, empathy, and critical thinking. Through the delivery of gender-sensitive peace education, the project aims to improve the well-being of children in conflict-affected regions. Project activities include: (1) launching an online campaign on the existing 20 Isla Maganda episodes to generate awareness and interest; (2) developing and producing 20 new Isla Maganda episodes and accompanying lesson plans; (3) providing training to school heads, education supervisors, and teachers on the curriculum; (4) distributing student activity books, teacher guides, companion storybooks, and USBs with animated episodes to school divisions; and (5) implementing the curriculum for in-class students. This project expects to target 44,000 children (50% girls) and 5,500 school heads, education supervisors, and teachers across the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and the adjacent Lanao del Norte region.
