September 2025 – The changing nature of conflicts worldwide resulted in unprecedented humanitarian needs. This poses unique safety and security challenges for humanitarian organizations delivering assistance to vulnerable populations, despite international humanitarian law’s protections. Conflicts worldwide result in countless and often deliberate attacks on medical and humanitarian personnel. More than ever before, frontline humanitarian workers and non-governmental organizations require free and up-to-date information, analysis and advice. This supports informed decision-making, enables humanitarian access, and helps them serve populations most in need.

With Global Affairs Canada’s support, International non-governmental organization Safety Organisation (INSO) helps humanitarian organizations fulfill their mandates safely by providing timely information and assistance to reduce security risks. Project activities include: (1) providing 24/7 safety alerts and analysis to non-governmental organization (NGOs) operating in high-risk areas; (2) offering security briefings to NGO staff to ensure preparedness in crisis contexts; and (3) facilitating interagency coordination to improve collaboration and response in conflict zones. The project primarily benefits international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and their staff, particularly those working in conflict zones, who rely on accurate safety information to carry out their operations and deliver aid effectively.

The First Response Fund (FRF) is a global humanitarian pooled fund that resources grassroots, local, life-saving humanitarian responses led by women-led and women’s rights organizations (WLO/WROs). The FRF leverages the global network of over 50 national, regional and multiregional Women’s and Feminist Funds (W/FF) to support WROs/WLOs to provide fast and effective humanitarian services in ODA-eligible countries, including to communities that may not be reached otherwise. The FRF supports WROs/WLOs to provide humanitarian response services in their communities, with a focus on humanitarian aid to high-need groups who often face barriers to access, including refugees and internally displaced people, women with disabilities, gender expansive and transgender people, Indigenous and Black women, rural women, and those at the intersection of many of these identities.

This project represents Canada’s support to the First Response Fund. Specific funding amounts, and targeted countries, will be identified based on humanitarian need, coordinated humanitarian response plans, and FRF members’ delivery capacity, as per the FRF’s Operational Manual. The use of Canada’s financial contributions will be limited to prioritized geographical areas in UN Humanitarian Appeals and/or UNCHR Refugee Response Plans.

The PS752 Commemorative Scholarship Program is a meaningful tribute to the 176 victims who tragically lost their lives in the PS752 flight disaster on January 8, 2020. Among these victims were brilliant minds and dedicated students who significantly contributed to Canada’s educational institutions. Over the next 5 years, from 2023 to 2028 academic year, Global Affairs Canada will offer 176 scholarships to international and Canadian post-secondary students studying in Canada to honour their legacies.
A minimum of 70% of the scholarships will to be granted to international students, reflecting the percentage of international passengers on Flight PS752. This prestigious scholarship offers applicants the chance to receive an average of $25,000.

Grant awarded under the Research Program to Saint Mary’s University (Linda Campbell) to assist in facilitating the development and use of rigorous and innovative science, techniques and methods to ensure the conduct of high quality assessments and assessment decision-making based on science and knowledge.

The Project includes geotechnical design and site preparation for the future secondary treatment system, and upgrades to the primary treatment system at the Riverhead Wastewater Treatment Facility.

The Canada Avenue Active Transportation Corridor project will provide more than 835m of linear active transportation facilities in the form of new and accessible sidewalks, and a smooth surface multi-use path. In addition to these linear features, improved road safety and traffic calming will be included. This pathway will be a minimum width of 3.0m, while new sidewalks will be a minimum of 1.8m – the space required for two people using mobility devices to safely pass one another.

Dedicated pathway lighting and appropriate cabling has also been incorporated into this design to support other vulnerable populations. This lighting will improve personal and road safety conditions for all users dependent on active transportation for transportation – no matter the weather conditions or time. Boulevard space is also included wherever possible to increase separation between active transportation users and motor vehicle traffic, further improving conditions for more vulnerable users and strengthening the emerging all ages and abilities networks for both municipalities.

The corridor design incorporates pedestrian crossing flashers alongside two raised concrete sidewalks which will improve visibility of active transportation users, while acting as traffic calming when active transportation users are not present. These crossings will also improve transit integration by providing direct connections to transit stops and providing accessible transit waiting areas.

Traffic calming will also improve the overall safety for all road users. Traffic calming treatments along the corridor will include medians (1 – 3m widths based on available road right of way, some include pedestrian refuge areas), some curb bulging, and raised crosswalks (may function as speed tables).
