The Fredericton Northeast Growth Area Water System Extension Project in Fredericton, New Brunswick aims to provide essential water and sewer infrastructure for the immediate development of the Northeast Growth Area. This area will include a variety of residential developments, such as single detached dwellings, various forms of missing middle housing, and apartments from 4-8 floors. The project addresses the need for housing and infrastructure by constructing a water reservoir, a water booster station, linear water, sewer, and municipal infrastructure, and extending public water service to Sitansisk First Nation property. This project will enable approximately 4,000 new units, with an additional 900 units unlocked by the water booster station. A significant barrier is the necessity of the water reservoir for fire protection and ongoing construction, without which development cannot proceed. The expected outcomes include immediate viability for existing development potential, creation of new residential and institutional development opportunities, and enhanced connectivity to Sitansisk First Nation, fostering growth within this community.

The proposed facility will safely store firefighting equipment, provide a training space, and include an Emergency Operations Centre (EOC). The EOC will serve as a central hub during evacuations, offering a warm, safe place for community members to gather, access supplies, and connect with loved ones. It will also support emergency volunteers with meals, rest areas, and operational coordination. The building will have a double height 'garage' that will house the fire trucks and rescue vehicle and provide storage for a mobile trailer used for emergencies. There will be a concrete apron in the front of the bays to allow for cleaning, repairs and training on the vehicles.

Octobre 2025 – Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica as a catastrophic Category 5 storm, the most powerful ever recorded in the country. The hurricane caused widespread devastation across multiple parishes, severely damaging infrastructure and prompting Jamaica to declare a national state of emergency. Preliminary estimates indicate that approximately 1.9 million individuals are affected in Jamaica.

With GAC’s support, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) helps provide technical and operational support to the MOHW and partners to restore health service delivery and substantially contribute to minimize public health risk in Jamaica following Hurricane Melissa. Project activities include: (1) restored health care delivery capacity and access to health services in the most affected areas; (2) increased epidemiological surveillance to support early detection and timely management of disease outbreaks; (3) ensured access to safe water, emergency sanitation measures and vector control; and (4) supported efficient coordination of humanitarian assistance and management of information to effectively address the most urgent humanitarian needs.
