Over the summer, Fortis Group finished the state-of-the-art Eastview Horizon Elementary School just in time for the start of the 2023 school year. This remarkable achievement is a testament to Fortis Group’s commitment to providing top-tier educational facilities and enhancing students’ learning experiences.

Spanning across two spacious floors and boasting an impressive 60,000 square feet of meticulously designed space, the Eastview Horizon Elementary School accommodates students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8. The comprehensive layout includes dedicated areas for preschool education, a fully equipped gymnasium, a well-stocked library, a vibrant music room, and an array of modern classrooms.

The collaboration between Fortis Group and the Great Essex County District School Board continues to yield groundbreaking projects, and the Eastview Horizon Elementary School is no exception. The Eastview Horizon Elementary School encapsulates a vision of growth, empowerment, and inspiration.

We recently completed a remarkable transformation at the University of Windsor’s Ron W. Ianni Faculty of Law Building. This ambitious project, a joint venture with EllisDon, is a testament to our commitment to preserving heritage while embracing the future.

Our joint venture project with EllisDon brought a renewed sense of purpose to the iconic Ron W. Ianni Faculty of Law Building. Covering an expansive 90,000 sq. ft. across three stories, this endeavour retained the building’s historic charm while introducing modern elements. The project’s essence is rooted in heritage preservation, accessibility, student-centricity, flexibility, and sustainability, embodying the evolving spirit of the university.

Our experience with the University of Windsor goes beyond the Ron W. Ianni Faculty of Law Building. It extends to our commitment to fostering academic excellence and community engagement. Last year, we completed the new Lancer Toldo Centre—a testament to the university’s dedication to innovation and growth—it represents just one facet of our partnership with this esteemed institution.

As we look to the future, we remain committed to advancing education, enriching the university, and embracing new opportunities for growth and development.

Embracing progress and a commitment to enhancing the lives of our community’s most cherished members, we’re thrilled to share the strides we’ve made in developing the new Brouillette Manor in Windsor, Ontario. The ambitious project, executed in two pivotal phases, is set to revolutionize how we provide care and create a nurturing environment for our residents.

With the completion of a brand-new, thoughtfully designed one-story long-term care home, we’ve introduced 64 additional beds adjacent to the existing facility. With careful attention to every detail, from architectural design to advanced medical facilities, we’ve ensured that residents will experience the utmost comfort, security, and personalized care.

As we celebrate the success of Phase 1, we’re already well on our way into Phase 2. This phase, currently underway, marks the next step in our journey toward reimagining long-term care. The commencement of the demolition of the existing building is an exciting move that clears the path for what’s to come.

Phase 2 is set to bring even more innovation and enhancement. An additional 32 beds will soon become available, allowing even more individuals to benefit from exceptional care. Beyond the expanded capacity, we’re introducing new exterior amenity spaces prioritizing relaxation, recreation, and a sense of community.

Pushing Ahead for Success:

Our teams are making a concerted effort to ensure the building envelope is not only complete but also watertight before winter. Simultaneously, interior rough-in and framing work are making excellent progress. Site works continue to move forward, with the exterior amenities beginning to take shape. Infrastructure projects are in their final stages.

Green Building Commitment:

This community project is not just about construction; it’s about responsible and sustainable building. We’re delighted to share that the Carrville Community Centre is actively working towards LEED Gold certification, reflecting our commitment to environmental responsibility and a greener future.

As we continue to make great strides on this exciting journey, we eagerly anticipate the Carrville Community Centre becoming a vibrant hub for community life.

We recently had a blast at the Fortis Group Annual Charity Golf Tournament! The day was filled with swings, smiles, and incredible vibes, despite a little rain.

We want to express our immense gratitude for the incredible support in making this event a resounding success. Whether you were a participant, volunteer, donor, or sponsor, your involvement played a vital role in creating a day to remember.

A special thank you goes out to our title sponsor, Lekter Mechanical, whose generosity set the stage for this event’s success. ?

Thanks to our collective efforts, we’re thrilled to announce that we raised over $90,000 for the Windsor-Essex Children’s Aid Foundation. This remarkable achievement will significantly impact the lives of children and families in need, reinforcing our commitment to giving back to our beloved community.

This isn’t just a number; it’s a testament to the incredible impact we can create when we join forces.

In our ongoing commitment to giving back to the community, we’re thrilled that our team recently had the privilege of participating in the United Way’s “Backpack for Success” program, where we donated over 50 backpacks brimming with essential school supplies to help local students gear up for a successful academic year.

It was a genuine team effort, with our dedicated employees volunteering their time and energy to fill these backpacks with care and enthusiasm. Each backpack was thoughtfully packed with the tools young minds need to thrive in the classroom, from notebooks and pens to calculators and art supplies.

This initiative perfectly aligns with our values to positively impact our community. Education is a powerful tool, and we believe every student should have the necessary resources to excel. By providing these backpacks, we hope to ease the burden on families and ensure that students can confidently start the school year.
