The objective of the EAF is to support community based projects across Canada that improve accessibility, remove barriers, and enable Canadians with disabilities to participate in and contribute to their community.

This projects aims to empower local, national and regional civil society actors to address injustice against LGBTQ2AI people. This approach involves using the law to increase the ability of LGBTQ2AI persons to assert their rights and regain control over their lives. This will be achieved through interrelated individual and collective empowerment approaches that promote: 1) improved ownership of human rights by individuals and organizations from the LGBTQ2IA community, through outreach and training; 2) strengthened legal aid and legal aid services to facilitate access to the courts by victims of human rights violations at the local, national and regional level; 3) support for strategic litigation of landmark human rights cases; and, 4) strategic advocacy support to foster structural, cultural and systemic change.

This project aims to promote the rights of men survivors of conflict-related sexual violence in Ukraine to survivor-centred and gender-sensitive justice and healthcare. Project activities include: (1) creating guidance documents on the impacts of conflict-related sexual violence on men survivors and on legal and policy barriers relating to access to justice and healthcare; (2) providing analysis of emblematic cases of conflict-related sexual violence against men and boys in Ukraine for international justice mechanisms; (3) conducting capacity strengthening workshops for a network of men survivors; (4) creating guidance for the network of men survivors on access to justice and healthcare in Ukraine; and (5) creating referral pathways and providing mental health and psychological support services to the members of the network of male survivors.

Project Podium: Establish a world-leading biomanufacturing facility & capabilities to advance and produce bioprinted tissue therapeutics in Canada

The feasibility study is the next step following a major environmental scan conducted around the sports centre in 2019. The sports centre is scheduled to open in the summer of 2022; it is nearing completion. It will provide the 47,105 residents of Pays-d’en-Haut MRC with high-quality sports facilities (arena, pool, badminton court, volleyball court, soccer field, etc.). We would like people to use active transportation to get to the sports centre: walking or biking to the centre via a safe route seems entirely consistent with its planned uses. Currently, the road to the centre is not considered active transportation-friendly, and most people get to the centre by vehicle on the provincial highway. The feasibility study will provide a detailed exploration of solutions that take into account the road and terrain constraints in the area. In addition, the feasibility study is a tool for making the configuration and materials decisions required to estimate our project’s costs. The study will culminate in the selection of a solution leading to a capital project, to be undertaken at the same time as the reconfiguration of the Highway 117/Highway 15 interchange by the MTQ. Note that the Town of Sainte-Adèle is currently planning to build a sidewalk to École secondaire A-N Morin, but it will not connect to the sports centre. For all these reasons, the MRC wants to engage the services of a firm to plan the connection from the sports centre to the P’tit Train du Nord trail (234 km from Green Route 2), an active mobility link connecting two major sports infrastructures.

The project seeks to reduce the risk of future storm events and sea level rise to the Gingolx harbour through new construction, rehabilitation and expansion of a breakwater. The new and upgraded infrastructure will also be designed and built to mitigate current and future impacts of climate change. Once complete, the project is expected to provide increased protection to Indigenous and commercial fishing fleets, the main resource for the livelihood of this community.
