This project will use a comprehensive data set collected on at scales relevant to SWOT and Sentinel missions to understand ocean mixing and coastal currents in the Northeast Pacific. There is considerable variability in the region that is poorly resolved in older generation altimetry products, and most in situ observations. The reserachers will use high resolution shipboard surveys, underwater glider surveys, mooring measurements, and targeted float releases to groundtruth and enhance the data returned from the new generation of altimeters. The results will be used to test and improve operational and research ocean simulations, with applications to fish stocks and weather prediction.

Improving potable water and sanitation management in communities around the National Maritime Park in the Bay Islands of Honduras through strengthening local water boards, installing water collection units and a network of potable water, and educational activities with children in the majority Garifuna / Afro Descendant community of Camp Bay, strengthening the organization in monitoring water quality.

With Canada’s support, the Global Network of Women Peacebuilders (GNWP) works in 6 fragile and conflict-affected states, Chad, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Lebanon, Nigeria, and South Sudan, to ensure women’s meaningful participation at each stage of conflict prevention and resolution, and post-conflict recovery and reconstruction. Project activities include: (1) convening and delivering 15 workshops in the 6 countries on monitoring and evaluation to track resolutions’ implementation and progress on National Action Plans (NAPs); (2) conducting 15 localization workshops to draft Local Action Plans (LAPs) on Women, Peace and Security (WPS) and Youth, Peace and Security (YPS), and to provide technical support, resources and media support to roll out the third generation NAPs in Nigeria and the DRC; (3) providing technical assistance to Local Steering Committees; (4) facilitating three budget workshops of WPS NAPs and LAPs in Colombia, the DRC, and Nigeria; (5) convening eight workshops on community climate change response; (6) delivering five workshops to increase the capacity of journalists and other media practitioners on WPS and YPS; and, (7) conducting six Training-of-Trainers sessions covering gender equality, peacebuilding, preventing violence extremism and social media.

The objective of this Project is to support the participation of Indigenous groups on the Indigenous Advisory and Monitoring Committee for the Line 3 Replacement Program.

This contribution supports furthering knowledge of caribou genomics to inform woodland caribou recovery and the conservation breeding initiative in Jasper National Park. The project will use new techniques and additional biological samples to build on previous caribou genetics work to ensure that genetic diversity and inbreeding are key considerations in the steps taken to augment caribou through conservation breeding.

Support Indigenous Capacity Building in Saskatchewan's Clean Energy Sector - SPI

To improve rail infrastructure at road/rail grade crossings

To improve rail infrastructure at road/rail grade crossings

To improve rail infrastructure at road/rail grade crossings

The program supports projects that improve rail safety contribute to increasing safety at grade crossings and along rail lines address climate change resilience through the rehabilitation mitigation and/or prevention of the impacts of climate change/extreme weather along rail lines and rail property and increase public confidence in Canada's rail transportation system.
