Ongoing projects

Third place for community social supports

This project aims to create a welcoming and inclusive social and cultural third place to tackle isolation, foster community mutual aid, and facilitate access to social rights. This hybrid space brings together a community cafe, support services, and shared workshops under one roof.

To meet the needs of local residents, the services are structured around five key areas: administrative and legal support, family and parenting support, preventive healthcare, job integration, and material solidarity initiatives such as a Fablab, a social grocery store or a repair cafe.

D’accord pour Dakar

This project is an educational exchange trip bringing together youth from Ottawa to Senegal during the Youth Olympic Games. (November 1–13, 2026)

Participants will engage in cultural and educational activities, like musical showcases, school-based workshops, and reporting for a youth blog.

They will also have the opportunity to meet young people from around the world, share their cultures, and strengthen their sense of belonging to a global community committed to a more united and inclusive world.

Ottawa, Towards a Learning City

This project aims to prepare and submit Ottawa's application to join the UNESCO’s Global Network of Learning Cities, following the example of Edmonton, and the Quartier Latin initiative led by the Université du Québec à Montréal.

Position Ottawa as a city where lifelong learning becomes a reality, enabling every citizen—at all ages—to learn, contribute, and thrive, thereby strengthening the city’s community, cultural, and economic vitality.

Digital Discoverability and Outreach

The project aims to establish an innovation center that brings together applied research, professional training, business incubation, and entrepreneurial support to develop a new high-value ecosystem of expertise in digital discoverability.

Leveraging shared infrastructure and cutting-edge technologies in artificial intelligence, data governance, cybersecurity, and digital transformation, the center will foster a community of specialized entrepreneurs equipped to address the growing needs of public and private organizations.

The project will enhance the visibility, organization, accessibility, and value of digital content across the public, cultural, educational, and economic sectors, while strengthening innovation, digital competitiveness, and digital sovereignty.

From Hand to Hand – Youth Employability Program through Skills Training

A pilot project developed in partnership with citizens, local businesses, and community centers, aimed at building a learning neighborhood focused on hands-on skills and experiential learning.

The program enables youth to discover the skilled trades in their community through practical workshops and business immersions, supporting career exploration, the recognition of practical know-how, and the development of a strong, sustainable community.
