Grants and Contributions

As part of the Pathway to Canada Target 1, the ICE produced a report on Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas in Canada.

The funds provided will support an updated Targeted Energy audit, the construction of an ice road and access ramp, recommissioning of the camp site, installation of a smart metering system and generator, and hiring of personnel for coordination and oversight of the project.

This project will educate Indigenous youth in northern communities across Canada about boating/water safety, including a winter ground/ice-based SAR prevention course to be delivered in the Fall and a summer ground/water-based course to be delivered in the Spring.

The objective of this project is to increase capacity of local internet Child Exploitation (ICE) Units and to optimize the investigations of internet child sexual exploitation in Quebec.

Traditional travel and hunting routes are being disrupted by unsafe ice conditions as multi-year ice melts, creating a need for community-driven remote sensing. To help address this need, an interdisciplinary team of Arctic climate change scientists, remote sensing specialists, and space systems engineers are proposing the ArcticSat Mission: A community co-developed 3U CubeSat equipped with a high-frequency microwave radiometer capable of detecting ice/water interfaces from a polar orbit and operated by community members from Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut and Churchill, Manitoba. Equipped with timely data on ice and snow conditions (including ponds of fresh water during the melt season), communities will be able to assess safe travel corridors and monitor how the surrounding environment is changing on a weekly, monthly, seasonal, and annual basis -- and how it may change in the future.

Currently, wave theory and critical speed ideas are not well understood and have led to confusion as to the safe speed limits for ice covers. Safely increasing speed limits on ice covers could lead to considerable cost savings to winter road clients as round trip times to deliver goods are decreased, allowing for goods to be delivered in less time and reducing overall days winter roads need to be maintained and kept open.

The first goal is to characterize ground ice and glaciers on Mars at Phlegra Montes with geospatial mapping and ground penetrating radar. This supports the Canadian Space Agency's goal of locating and characterizing ground ice in Mars in preparation for future human exploration.

Spaceflight produces deleterious effects on multiple physiological systems (e.g., cardiovascular, cardiorespiratory, and postural controls) with astronauts in isolation and confinement (IC) in a microgravity environment. IC studies conducted on the ISS and the ground generally demonstrated altered neuro-immunomodulated responses, whose mechanisms may be related to chronic stress dysregulating the central nervous system (CNS). However, the effects of IC on CNS insult and multi-omic responses are yet to be investigated.
