Building on the successful demonstration of a compact and low-cost terahertz (THz) spectrometer capable of generating and detecting frequencies from 0.3 to 6 THz, this project will combine this small footprint configuration with a recently demonstrated sensitive THz detection technique based on nonlinear optics, spectral filtering and single-photon detection. The ultimate goal is to demonstrate an ultra-sensitive photonics?based wireless receiver that operates at frequencies above 0.3 THz to enable short- to medium-range 6G communication speeds and beyond. Patterned phase gratings on nonlinear crystals will be incorporated into the design of the detection system, maximizing the collection efficiency of the THz radiation. A demonstrator of a sensitive and compact THz receiver is anticipated to take place at the end of this project. Additionally, with the University of Ottawa’s industry partner, the project will determine how to most efficiently take this technology to market

Applicant seeks funding to construct new sidewalks and bike path with curb modifications. Overall length for bike path and 1.5m wide sidewalk is 202m in length. The main goal of this project is to renew and improve the existing active transportation network from existing commercial development on one side of the railway tracks to the active transportation network on the other side of the tracks.

The University will complete active transportation pathway improvements that have been identified within the Campus Cycling Plan (2018): McGill Road, Ring Road South, Dawnview/CARSA. The focus of improvements is to provide safe connections and crossing points for cyclists and pedestrians by improving lighting, wayfinding and signage, integrating traffic calming measures into road crossing points, and constructing new, separated paved pedestrian and cycling pathways.

The project will generate a cumulative total of approximately 1 km of new asphalt separated pedestrian and bicycle pathways. Key outputs for each area include: bike racks, washrooms/change rooms, new lighting, wayfinding/signage, new plantings and trees, new curb, new crosswalks and upgraded crosswalks.

Tsartlip First Nation (Tsartlip) is applying for $50,000 to fund the development of an Active Transportation Network Plan (ATNP) and to support the feasibility design of an Active Transportation Hub (AT Hub).

The intention of ATNP is to produce a community-wide map with prioritized segments to support future development of active transportation (AT) infrastructure on-reserve. The ATNP would also identify the current state of AT infrastructure, highlight safety issues, and note potential GHGe reductions as the network is developed. We would host community engagements to identify network gaps, destinations, and aspirations. Planning-level cost estimates for up to five priority corridors would be provided. Lastly, the ATNP look to enhance regional connectivity by considering Central Saanich’s Active Transportation Plan (2021).

The project will consist of developing an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) for the Town of Woodstock. Currently, the Town has no active transportation plan for their infrastructure but own and maintain multiple kilometers of an existing network. The Active Transportation plan will help further develop the Town's policy and active transportation. The plan is expected to have a long-term impact for the residents as it will guide the planning, design, and implementation of the active transportation infrastructure for the future. An ATP has the potential to shift the Town from vehicular traffic toward more active transportation means. The ATP would provide a framework for making the Town less automobile reliant and improve active transportation means. Active Transportation is one of the visions Council has by encouraging active transportation through enhanced infrastructure and addressing road safety concerns.

Communities across Canada that have a significant issue with homelessness and will have increased supports for their vulnerable populations through Reaching Home. This is accomplished by mobilizing partners at the federal, provincial/territorial and community levels, as well as the private and voluntary sectors, and other stakeholders, to address barriers to well-being faced by those who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness.

Purchase of 2 wheelchair accessible minibuses that will transport Elders, living from Howe Sound to North Vancouver and on and off reserve, to programming in the Squamish Valley and North Vancouver, British Columbia.

John Abbott College is seeking funding to produce an Active Transportation Plan in order to make its campus safer, greener and more inviting for pedestrians and cyclists and to encourage a substantial modal shift of students and staff away from private cars towards a major light-rail service arriving nearby.

Reaching Home aims to prevent and reduce homelessness across Canada. This is accomplished by mobilizing partners at the federal, provincial/territorial and community levels, as well as the private and voluntary sectors, and other stakeholders, to address barriers to well-being faced by those who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness.
