The objectives of the Program are: .• promoting volunteerism among seniors; .• engaging seniors in the community through.mentoring of others; .• expanding awareness of elder abuse, including.financial abuse; .• supporting social participation and inclusion of.seniors; and .• providing capital assistance for new and existing.community projects and/or programs for seniors. .

SPF’s objective will be achieved by functioning as an innovative, partnership-driven complement to the Indigenous Skills and Employment Training Strategy (ISETS) that fosters more integrated, harmonized, training-to-employment models or acts as a catalyst for the formation and testing of innovative new partnerships in Indigenous labour market development. SPF activities will emphasize joint stewardship and coordination consistent with the Aboriginal Economic Development Framework. Through access to SPF funding, a wider range of Indigenous organizations will deliver Indigenous labour market programming, serving to embed collaboration and maximize leveraging opportunities with industry, federal-provincial-territorial partners, and Indigenous partners

This project aims the purchase and installation of new automated processing and packaging equipment for lactose-free milk at the Don Mills plant in Ontario. Once completed, the project will increase production capacity and improve productivity to continue to meet growing demand from Canadian consumers.

Draw up plans for a trail linking the Véloroute to the Acadian Historical Village

This project addresses the overarching goal of Improving Space Weather Radiation Belt and Ring Current Loss Models. In particular, the project will focus on utilizing GO Canada data, and additional supporting data sets, to deliver a better understanding of a new and previously ignored “missing loss process” impacting electron ring current and radiation belt dynamics. The overall goal will be to develop models for this new loss process which will be incorporated into, and improve, current space radiation models. This research is expected to have significant impacts, advancing state-of-the-art space weather models.

Through its provision of key instrumentation to the European Space Agency’s Swarm satellite mission, now operating at the upper reaches of Earth’s atmosphere for nearly a decade, Canada has extensive experience in the study of Earth’s space plasma environment. Swarm’s observations have contributed significantly to the understanding of the Sun-Earth connection and its impact on humanity. The project proposed here is designed to leverage this expertise and Swarm’s scientific findings to contribute to the development and operation of NASA’s Geospace Dynamics Constellation mission, which will probe the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere-atmosphere system beginning in the early 2030’s.

The objective of this research is to develop a forecast model for the probability of scintillation occurrence in GNSS signals over the Canadian Arctic with a high temporal and spatial resolution during quiet and disturbed geomagnetic conditions. The model will use 15 years of Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Network (CHAIN) GNSS scintillation monitors collected data to infer statistical patterns, and solar wind parameters measured at the Lagrange point to propagate predictions into the future. The model code will be publicly available for use in scientific research and navigation systems operations worldwide.

The objective of this research is to develop an atmospheric drag model that incorporates the effects of solar activity, atmospheric density, satellite altitude and geomagnetic activity. Atmospheric drag effects cause large and unpredictable uncertainties in orbit determination/prediction, particularly during periods of highly active space weather. By analyzing and modeling the atmospheric drag forces acting on the CASSIOPE satellite, the researchers seek to understand the temporal and spatial variability of these forces and their effects on satellite orbit, altitude decay and lifetime. These findings will contribute to a better understanding of the dynamics of the Earth's atmosphere and its impact on space-based assets.
