The initiative is supporting projects under three main themes:

  • Digital solutions: Innovative digital projects that address changing community needs through the use of data and connected technologies.
  • Creating safe and vibrant public spaces: Projects that create or adapt existing public places such as parks, main streets, and indoor spaces that encourage safe cultural or physical activities, and local commerce.
  • Improving mobility options: Projects that permit physical distancing through permanent or temporary changes that make it easier for people to get around in their communities, whether walking, biking, accessing public and private transit, or other modes of transportation.

The County was successful in its application to the Canada Healthy Communities Initiative and the funding received will be utilized to install free WiFi in a variety of County parks.

A brief survey was prepared, including questions regarding interest, uses and location. Responses to the survey were incorporated into the County’s application to the Canada Healthy Communities Initiative.
