Capital Project Highlights

In the 2022-2023 fiscal year, we invested $4.8 million through our capital budget. The
following are a few key highlights.

¾ Deep energy retrofit at 255 Riverside
More and more, increasing the energy efficiency of our properties has become a
higher priority, not only from a cost savings perspective, but also to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and to do our part to support the City’s sustainability
targets.

At Riverside, we installed new doors and windows, replaced window air conditioner
units with safer and more efficient ones, and began work on balcony repairs, that
include waterproofing and new railings, and enhancing the insulation on exterior
walls by over-cladding the building.

¾ Campbell Cottage: Electrical rehabilitation
Based on a recent report from the Electrical Safety Authority, the 11 buildings at
the Campbell site were in need of significant electrical upgrades. In 2022,
we invested $120,000 for electrical rehabilitation in these buildings.
