Grants and Contributions

This grant will provide hands-on opportunities for the new immigrant and refugee youth to learn outdoor skills to stay active and safe in nature.

The purposes of the agreement are to promote a desire to learn more about the natural environment and equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to apply the basic principles and practices of resource management and ecology to complex environmental issues.

The objective of this Project is to support a greater recognition of forests as a valuable, renewable and green resource and challenge Canadians across the country to learn more abut the forest sector and it significance to our culture, history, and future.

This grant builds capacity within the Six Nations of the Grand River to guide and participate in the final co-design and validation of various interpretive and experiential elements for the future visitor, learning and community centre at Rouge National Urban Park.

The contribution will help support the 2018 Kaqa’nata Multicultural and Diversity Summit that brings together a mix of multicultural learning and sharing opportunities along with cross-cultural performances, keynote speakers, educational workshops and traditional foods as part of a two day event.

This contribution will support cultural camp experiences in Gwaii Haanas for Haida and other youth and families, from all communities on Haida Gwaii and beyond. Participants learn wilderness and marine skills, play leadership games, meet physical challenges, receive cultural teachings and personal support.

The IW-AR project will be centred around the development of a circumpolar northern Indigenous-based learning program. The project will use a web-based collection of learning resources and case studies to help reframe the current approach to Indigenous and Northern and Arctic youth engagement to include the voice of Indigenous peoples, in particular, youth, in Arctic discourse.
To do so, the IW-AR project will develop a set of learning resources and workshops targeted towards policy makers and educators to better understand how to engage Arctic and Northern youth.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:
• Fund a host (or consortium of hosts) to develop, implement and evaluate an annual NCR/NCTP for the HSI Fellowship program in 2021-2022 and 2022-2023, that harnesses the use of virtual technology where necessary in response to the COVID-19 context, to achieve the original three core NCR objectives:
o Support HSI Fellows and their health system and academic supervisors to embark on successful, rewarding and impactful embedded fellowships.
o Foster interaction, exchange, and opportunities for collaboration among the fellows, the health system supervisors, and the academic supervisors from across the cohorts.
o Provide fellows and supervisors with training and learning opportunities in the enriched core competencies.
• Facilitate a high-quality learning environment that offers participants from across HSI Fellowship cohorts the opportunity to connect, learn, and collaborate to advance Canada’s progress towards a learning health system that harnesses the full talents of PhD-trained individuals for continuous health system improvement.
• Catalyze the development of open-access training content and materials focused on the enriched core competencies for health services and policy research that can be adapted and integrated into curricula for trainees at IHSPR and related doctoral training programs.

Offered a new way to provide prescribed alternatives (safer supply) medication to people living with opioid use disorder as an alternative to the toxic illegal drug supply and to help prevent overdoses. The MySafe machine resembled an ATM, and after verifying the patient's identity with a palm scan, provided patients with access to their existing prescriptions for hydromorphone pills.
