Purchase of a gas/diesel mini-bus to provide transit to essential services and cultural activities for Semiahmoo First Nation members, British Columbia.

The Addressing Drinking Water Infrastructure Issues Project in the Town of Torbay, Newfoundland and Labrador aims to develop Great Pond as a municipal water supply. The project addresses critical housing and infrastructure needs by ensuring access to safe drinking water for current and future residents and businesses. This will bring significant benefit not only to the residents of the Pineridge area affected by South Pond contamination but also to the existing residents of the Town of Torbay.

The project consists of water supply, treatment, and distribution systems including water control structure, intake pipe, water treatment plant, water storage tank and associated access roads.

Additionally, a fishway will be incorporated to mitigate potential effects on fish passage due to water withdrawal. The project will enable the construction of 76 new housing units, including affordable and high-density options, to attract diverse individuals and families. The outcome will alleviate pressure on existing infrastructure, support sustainable development, and benefit neighbouring municipalities dependent on the regional water supply.

The Little Etobicoke Creek Stormwater Management project in Mississauga, Ontario aims to address critical stormwater management challenges within a 1.1-kilometre section of the creek corridor. This capital project involves rehabilitating and upgrading the watercourse and associated infrastructure to mitigate flood risks in the provincially designated Special Policy Areas (SPAs) of Applewood and Dixie/Dundas. The project includes deepening and widening the creek, expanding the bridges on Dixie Road and Dundas Street, and implementing erosion protection measures. The primary objective is to reduce flood risks and enable housing growth by revising SPA boundaries and amending restrictive planning policies. The outcome will unlock approximately 15 hectares of land for 6,300 housing units, enhance stormwater management capacity, and support long-term densification in the Dixie GO Major Transit Station Area. This project will safeguard over 1,000 existing properties, improve climate resiliency, and align with Mississauga’s growth and environmental goals.

Their project's nature is twofold. First, in making what are necessary renovations, to undertake them in an energy wise fashion and next, while achieving the former, to create a more accessible and inviting atmosphere, thereby allowing the Centre to effectively serve more people. Their specific means in working to achieve these objectives presently focus in three areas: 1. the installation of a new refrigeration system which will utilize significant green energy and carbon reductions measures. 2. the placement of solar panels as their primary energy source. Together, both will lead to greater efficiency and significantly reduced utility rates and will also be part of a net-zero objective. Finally, a series of building renovations will assist with greater accessibility for an increased number of people.
