(COVID-19) Canada Healthy Communities Initiative

Description

The Healthy Communities Initiative is a $ 31 million investment from the Government of Canada to transform public spaces in response to COVID-19.

The initiative will support projects under three main themes: creating safe and vibrant public spaces - projects that create new or adapt existing public places such as parks, main streets, and other open spaces that encourage safe social interactions, cultural or physical activities, and local trade; improving mobility options - projects that permit physical distancing through permanent or temporary changes that make it easier for people to walk, bike, access public and private transit, or just meet with other people; digital solutions - innovative infrastructure-related projects that address changing community needs through the use of data and connected technologies.
