Grants and Contributions

Assess the feasibility of a transit system by determining community transit needs and potential implementation models to create a public transit system for the City of Iqaluit.

The North Glenora Community League Net‑Zero Retrofit Project will upgrade community league buildings to improve energy efficiency, eliminate on‑site carbon emissions, and enhance accessibility and climate resilience. The project will modernize the building envelope and systems while incorporating renewable energy and inclusive design features. These improvements will reduce operating costs, support year‑round community use, and strengthen the league’s ability to deliver inclusive programming and serve a diverse community.

The Project includes geotechnical design and site preparation for the future secondary treatment system, and upgrades to the primary treatment system at the Riverhead Wastewater Treatment Facility.

The Canada Avenue Active Transportation Corridor project will provide more than 835m of linear active transportation facilities in the form of new and accessible sidewalks, and a smooth surface multi-use path. In addition to these linear features, improved road safety and traffic calming will be included. This pathway will be a minimum width of 3.0m, while new sidewalks will be a minimum of 1.8m – the space required for two people using mobility devices to safely pass one another.

Dedicated pathway lighting and appropriate cabling has also been incorporated into this design to support other vulnerable populations. This lighting will improve personal and road safety conditions for all users dependent on active transportation for transportation – no matter the weather conditions or time. Boulevard space is also included wherever possible to increase separation between active transportation users and motor vehicle traffic, further improving conditions for more vulnerable users and strengthening the emerging all ages and abilities networks for both municipalities.

The corridor design incorporates pedestrian crossing flashers alongside two raised concrete sidewalks which will improve visibility of active transportation users, while acting as traffic calming when active transportation users are not present. These crossings will also improve transit integration by providing direct connections to transit stops and providing accessible transit waiting areas.

Traffic calming will also improve the overall safety for all road users. Traffic calming treatments along the corridor will include medians (1 – 3m widths based on available road right of way, some include pedestrian refuge areas), some curb bulging, and raised crosswalks (may function as speed tables).

The project will construct a 470m multi-use pathway (MUP) which is the second phase of the non-motorized pathway that will provide residents and visitors an accessible, separated, multi-use facility to walk, cycle, and roll safely between community destinations on Whispering Pines I.R. #4. This second phase will complete the off-road MUP on the east side of Westsyde Rd., which will be the first of its kind on I.R. #4. This MUP will help address safety concerns related to walking and cycling along Westsyde Rd. and encourage more active transportation use as the current roadway has no pedestrian or bicycle facilities or lighting.

The project will naturalize a 10 acre stormwater pond for the City of Brandon’s cemetery expansion. The pond will feature a variety of native wetland species such as willow, grasses trees and shrubs. The project’s design elements include one active transportation pathway of approximately 500m, 6 signs and 2 benches.

The Crowsnest Trail Pathway Project will provide an active transportation connection between the City of Lethbridge’s regional pathway network and the WT Hill Business Park, a major commercial and employment area located in east Lethbridge, on the outskirts of the city. Although the regional pathway network connects most areas of the city, there are still a number of significant areas, such as the WT Hill Business Park, where gaps in the network exist. Building upon the City of Lethbridge Cycling Master Plan (2017), this project will provide a much-needed, two-kilometer connection for pedestrians, cyclists, and wheelchair users.

The Southeast Brandon Drainage Improvements Project is primarily intended to enhance the existing drainage system and secondly, expand upon the drainage network within southeast Brandon ultimately draining to the Assiniboine River. This multi-phased project includes the design and construction of new naturalized stormwater retention ponds, land drainage sewers, open channels and ditching that will greatly benefit the existing southeast area and its residents.

Purchase of 3 minibuses to meet transport needs in the region surrounding Petit-Rocher, New Brunswick.

Undertake a transit study to determine transportation feasibility for the rural community of Minegoziibe Anishinabe, MB.
