Grants and Contributions

This project will identify knowledge gaps in federal right to housing mechanisms and develop public legal education and information materials on how right to housing mechanisms can be leveraged to strengthen and protect tenants' rights. The project will produce a national summary report highlighting key points and strategies for advancing tenant protections and accessibility through mechanisms in the National Housing Strategy Act.

The project will publish the 4th French edition and the first English translation of Language Rights in Canada. This edition will provide a vital bilingual resource for practitioners and students of official language law.

The project will provide free, age-appropriate legal rights education to children and youth throughout British Columbia through interactive workshops. With a lawyer present, workshops will address legal questions and foster meaningful conversations about rights and responsibilities. The project will help bridge access to legal and other support services, with a particular focus on reaching marginalized youth, including those in rural, northern, and Indigenous communities.

The Doctoral Foreign Study Award (DFSA) is expected to:
• Provide recognition and funding to students early in their academic research career, providing them with an opportunity to gain research experience while abroad (outside of Canada); and
• Provide a reliable supply of highly skilled and qualified researchers.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

• Strengthen and build capacity within communities for CBR and KM that delivers impactful, useful, and timely results for populations at greatest risk of STBBI in Canada;
• Advance community-centred approaches to STBBI research by establishing meaningful partnerships between communities and researchers from academic or other research institutions; and
• Improve health equity by conducting, enabling and/or facilitating access to research that addresses structural, social, behavioural, and biomedical determinants of health for key populations affected by STBBI.
