Ampere is undertaking a green and inclusive retrofit to create a community STEAM space in Lindsay, Ontario. Currently, this 13,248 sq.ft. facility is largely inaccessible with poor energy efficiency. Retrofits will help create a safe, energy efficient, and inclusive multi-purpose learning and activity space. Our ambitious goals include:
- Green measures (target 65% energy savings, -90% in annual GHG emissions): Adding insulation and curtain walls, upgrading windows and exterior doors, upgrading HVAC, installing LED lighting.
- Accessibility measures (exceeding the highest accessibility standards): Installing exterior/interior ramps, non-slip flooring, elevator, and accessible doors.

This project will primarily benefit underserved/high needs groups in rural Ontario, including people experiencing poverty, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, newcomers, and seniors.

The Prince County Innovation & Learning Centre in Summerside will support the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) Family Medicine Residency program. A multifaceted satellite centre in Summerside, adjacent to Prince County Hospital, would complement and support the programs developed for UPEI medical school residents. Residents in these programs would gain experience working in a smaller, community-focused setting, which can improve their skills in delivering personalized care. Additionally, the presence of medical residents could help alleviate the burden on local healthcare professionals, enhance the quality of care, and foster a more robust healthcare system in the region. As residents often stay in the area where they train, this could also contribute to long-term retention of medical professionals in PEI, benefiting the community with consistent and dedicated healthcare services. The Prince County Innovation & Learning Centre envisions a future where simulation is seamlessly integrated into the world of healthcare.
