As part of the flood reduction strategy for Jackson Creek, this project will replace the existing storm sewer with 100 year capacity storm sewer on Charlotte Street from Park Street to Water Street significantly reducing the impact of flooding in Peterborough's downtown core.

The Town of Saint Andrews, wants to install a new active transportation corridor along the southwestern side of Prince of Wales Street, from the intersection of King Street to Water Street at Indian Point Park. The project would include the widening of the street with the installation of new curb and sidewalk for 850 meters. In addition, the Town would like to install a new washroom facility and bike repair station at the end of the corridor to further support the community in active transportation activities, as the corridor leads to our largest park in the town.

The project aims to revolutionize the extraction of critical metals for battery materials with innovative solvent metallurgical technologies, focusing on deep eutectic solvents (DES) and the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI-ML). It addresses the inefficiencies and environmental impacts of traditional methods, such as hydrometallurgy, by offering greening solutions for metal recovery. Activities include DES synthesis and testing, AI-ML-assisted prototype design, and autonomous laboratory process validation for efficient scale-up and industrial applicability. The results of the project are intended to strengthen Canada’s position in the global battery supply chain and its transition to a low-carbon economy by offering accelerated, efficient and greener technologies for the recovery of critical metals needed for battery materials.

Advances exploratory research under the New Beginnings Initiative

Over 50% of Canada's residential buildings are over 30 years old, and more than 20% are over 50, leading to higher energy demands due to outdated construction standards. Retrofitting these buildings offers a pathway to improve energy efficiency and occupant well-being. However, retrofit strategies must be optimized to balance environmental, social, and economic factors to meet Canada's emissions reduction targets. Current approaches often need more comprehensive frameworks for assessing building upgrades, such as insulation and mechanical systems, through life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle cost (LCC) lenses. This Project aims to develop a life-cycle thinking decision-support tool for optimizing retrofit solutions for National Building Code Part 9 buildings. It will calculate carbon emissions and costs for various retrofit packages, optimize them for energy use, carbon reduction, and cost-efficiency, and evaluate climate resilience. The results will inform the development of a web-based optimization tool.
