The Northgate Lions Senior Centre will become more energy efficient and accessible thanks to a federal investment of more than $2.3 million. This project was announced by Minister Randy Boissonnault, Amarjeet Sohi, Mayor, City of Edmonton, and Ron Nichol, President of the North Edmonton Seniors Association (NESA).
The rehabilitation of the centre will replace major mechanical and electrical systems to optimize energy efficiency and minimize environmental impacts. To support the seniors attending programs, the rehabilitation will also improve accessibility with upgrades to theautomatic doors and elevator for access to the second floor. These improvements are expected to reduce the facility's energy consumption by an estimated 18.7% and greenhouse gas emissions by 87 tonnes annually.
