This study provides a technical assessment for a proposed new off-road active trail extending the existing “Rail Trail” from the Town of Kemptville to the northern municipal boundary. The proposed trail extension follows a former rail corridor owned in part by the Municipality of North Grenville and the City of Ottawa. The Municipality of North Grenville will collaborate with the City of Ottawa (who will submit a complementary ATF technical assessment study) to plan a seamless off-road AT link between Ottawa and Kemptville. The studies will together identify the requirements and costs to implement the first comfortable cycling linkage (12km in length) between these two adjacent rural population centers of 4,000 and 2,700 residents. This planned off-road cycling link would bypass 15 km on-road shared-lane conditions mixing cyclists with heavy high-speed traffic.

This project will examine best practices in other similar jurisdiction in Southern Ontario and across Canada and make recommendations into how The Region can develop Durham specific guidelines.

A retrofit and expansion of an existing cultural building in Pictou, NS that includes a new modern public library, expanded event space for a theatre, visual arts exhibition facilities, and office/meeting space for community groups. The facility will host over forty organizations that deliver services to equity-deserving groups on a regular basis.

Mackenzie is excited about reducing their Recreation Centre's energy consumption and GHG emissions. The remote community (Beaver, Dënéndeh, Takla, Kelly Lake and Tse'khene territories) is surrounded by stunning forests, lakes, and mountains. Residents would like to ensure that the enveloping nature is kept as pristine as possible. This will be done using a heat pump to offset the natural gas used to power the amenities that support the diverse population of the town, neighbouring regions and first nation territories. To counteract the energy used by the heat pump, a solar panel array will be installed on the roof of the facility to generate electricity. The facility needs to replace their damaged arena slab and dasher boards.
