Our 2023 ESG Impact Report features the many ways FCR works to maintain our environmental and social priorities. In this series, we break down some of our highlights. According to the 2021 National Inventory Report, emissions from transportation accounted for 25% of total emissions in Canada. At FCR, we are committed to providing convenient access to sustainable transportation options. With evolving EV technology, FCR is growing with Canada's expanding electric vehicle infrastructure. As of 2023, we now have more than 300 EV charging stations across our portfolio to accommodate our tenants, their employees and customers who drive an electric vehicle.

We prioritize thriving neighbourhoods. We work with various initiatives and partnerships to make a meaningful impact and show our commitment to uplifting and empowering our neighbourhoods. As part of our community outreach program, we partnered with Project Canoe to support their mission and expand their programming. Project Canoe is a charity that started in 1977 and has helped over 4000 youth. They provide therapeutic and educational outdoor programs to Ontario youth aged 13 to 18 in both wilderness and urban settings. This partnership enhances Project Canoe's ability to positively impact the lives of youth in Ontario. We are committed to driving positive change and fostering inclusivity in the communities we serve. The partnership between First Capital and Project Canoe is an example of how we will continue to work with different communities to create a brighter and more inclusive future for everyone.

That is a wrap on Nuit Blanche 2024! We were thrilled to be a part of this year's event and be a host of one of the incredible art pieces installed across the waterfront. Isaac King and his giant flipbook "Humans Build The Biggest Nests" was located at the Via Velo space at Bayside Village. Thank you to the City of Toronto, our partners Hines and Tridel and the artist Isaac King for bringing this to life. #NuitBlanche #Toronto #Art #NuitBlanche2024

Introducing JASPER by Michael Archambault, the newest piece in our Public Art collection bringing our current art installations to 33 across our portfolio. JASPER demonstrates the journey of people moving through or viewing the building from above. Its materiality creates optical illusions, shifting with different perspectives and interactions. This artwork aims to be bright, playful, and engaging, giving the Wilderton Centre a distinct identity while strengthening the community's connection to the neighbourhood. Michel Archambault, based in #Montreal, Quebec, is a multidisciplinary visual artist skilled in sculpture, painting, and photography. His diverse yet coherent work has been exhibited in various prestigious venues, showcasing his unique ability to blend different artistic languages. For over twelve years, we have been dedicated to supporting artists and investing in the communities we serve. Through public art calls, competitions, and lasting partnerships with leading institutions across Canada ( OCAD University, Emily Carr University of Art and Design, Concordia University, and more), we've brought pieces to our properties that spark conversation and bring people together.
