The 20 winning projects voted on by London residents have been announced by city officials.
The $250,000 will be distributed across five areas of the city, with each project getting up to $50,000. Individual projects get up to $30,000.
A record number of project ideas were submitted this year: 345. There was also record voting turnout, with just under 16,600 votes cast, a 36 per cent increase from last year. Each of the projects will be fully implemented by the end of 2025, officials said.
