A series of projects in Mómeqwem were identified in the nation’s Active Transportation Plan (2021). The projects include the construction of multi-use pathways, sidewalks, a walking path, and a new active transportation bridge crossing at McLennan Creek. The projects will provide members with accessible and continuous walking and cycling
facilities that are safe, comfortable, and connect to destinations within the community.

Key outputs of the projects include:
•840 m of 3.0 m width new paved (asphalt) multi-use pathway
•250 m of 2.0 m width paved (asphalt or hardpacked gravel) pathway
•210 m of 2.0 m width new paved sidewalk
•A new, approximately 25 m long, 3 m wide single span bridge crossing for active transportation users (no vehicles)
•Associated landscaping and benches

Increasing walking and cycling opportunities in our community is a long-term commitment for Matsqui First Nation to achieve safety, health, and wellness goals as they relate to transportation.

This project entails upgrades to the Long Pond Breakwater that separates Conception Bay from Long Pond - the home of the Inner Harbour, Royal Newfoundland Yacht Club, Long Pond Harbour Authority, Community Park, and downtown business district, as well as private properties. Breakwater upgrades included in this project have been designed to withstand a 100-year storm with sea level rise considerations by the year 2100. The breakwater has been divided into segments, to ensure each segment is best constructed to withstand the unique wave action and offshore conditions observed in the Coastal Engineering Assessment which took place during 2022. Considerations were also made to ensure the asset can tolerate, and projected conditions for the next 75 years.

Reaching Home aims to prevent and reduce homelessness across Canada. This is accomplished by mobilizing partners at the federal, provincial/territorial and community levels, as well as the private and voluntary sectors, and other stakeholders, to address barriers to well-being faced by those who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness.

To strengthen responses to drug and substance use issues in Canada.

This project will develop an urgent wraparound treatment center as an extension of the new Out of the Cold shelter in Miramichi to address the ongoing crisis. This trauma-informed, culturally appropriate facility will provide immediate access to critical care and services, strengthening local capacity to respond to the overdose crisis. The Center will create a more seamless and effective service delivery model for vulnerable populations in rural Miramichi.
