The Pantoum community centre was acquired in July 2022, after 10 years of renting, with two distinct buildings in which activities are offered. The building benefits from a specific zoning bylaw that allows cultural community activities. The renovation aims to enhance the capacity of Le Pantoum community cultural center and includes the integration of universal accessibility standards throughout the facility, as well as the restoration of the elevator, ensuring full access for persons with reduced mobility. This will also allow for the effective and environmental insolation and isolation of all spaces, in order to optimize energetic efficiency, which will also bring the heating and ventilation systems up to energy-efficient codes.

Edmonton Food Bank proposes to build a rooftop solar array to offset utilities costs used to run all systems in their main food storage and distribution warehouse. Funds saved in EFB energy bills will be redirected to areas in greatest need like food purchases or programming.
