This project aims to raise awareness about sexual violence and available supports within the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) community in Renfrew County. This includes creating a Project partners committee, which will bring together various base and sexual violence experts to collaboratively identify diverse outreach strategies and tools for Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Petawawa. The Renfrew County Sexual Support Rape Crisis Centre will also develop and implemented a targeted outreach strategy to reach survivors and on-base service provider to raise awareness of the services available for survivors and to increase capacity on-base to respond effectively to disclosures of sexual violence

This project proposes to engage the military community in the National Capital Region about military sexual violence through outreach (workshops & presentations, connections through events, social media & print awareness campaign). It will also offer diverse platforms for accessing peer support (24-hour phone line, digital support through text, in-person peer support). Additionally, the project will create space for at least 3 distinct categories of survivors (survivors of violence in military setting, survivors who survive violence as the result of a perpetrator in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) community, and survivors who have witnessed abuse or assault) to share their story in a safe, accountable and confidential space with trained Peer Support Facilitators.

This project will establish a Systems Navigator Service Model from the Greater Fredericton Area, which will address the needs of survivors of sexual violence by enhancing coordination and collaboration amongst community-based agencies, relevant provincial government service providers and CFB Gagetown service providers. The project will improve understanding, documentation, and response to the needs of survivors who require concurrent support for various mental health, addictions, medical, legal, housing, and employment issues connected to their experience of sexual trauma. Key among the collaborative organizational relationships will be CFB Gagetown, to allow the Recipient to have a better understanding of services and programs available for military members, family members, civilian employees, and others with a military nexus. This will allow Sexual Violence New Brunswick to become more integrated within the network of support services available for survivors of sexual violence in the Fredericton region, which includes many individuals in the Canadian Armed Forces Community.

This project has three key components; (1) enhancing awareness of Sexual Assault Centre Kingston’s (SACK) resources, programs, and services for survivors, (2) knowledge sharing between CFB Kingston military members and SACK staff, (3) developing and implementing a Memorandum of Understanding for wait-less transition for survivors accessing services between CFB Kingston and Recipient programs. These components aim to enhance the knowledge of anti-sexual violence advocates in the military community and increase the cultural appropriateness of the Recipient’s programs and resources. The goal of Another Crossing is to enhance access and options to community services for Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members who are survivors, and to build the needed skills and competencies among the CAF community to better support survivors.

The strategy adopted by the Micro-Network consists in the rational design of the fibre, from selecting the polymer, to the loads, to the implementation methods. This approach will allow the proposed technologies to ripen, from the concept to the testing of an industrial prototype. The Micro-Network has set up an R&D project at each phase of development of this new class of polymers.

Funding will support research on how China, Russia, North Korea and Iran are integrating their space and cyberspace efforts militarily. Whether patterns of past cyber-attacks could be indicative of what future hostile state operations in space could look like will also be assessed.

Funding will support a workshop in Iqaluit to explore the security, safety and environmental risks associated with the disused rocket stages and satellites re-entering the atmosphere over Canada’s Arctic, and how Canada and DND/CAF could respond

Funding will support an annual conference that encourages exchanges between universities, military and members of civil society on issues related to national security. This year’s theme is “Cold or Hot, is war profitable in the future?”
