Through this 12-month project, LGBT Haute-Gaspésie will strengthen its capacity to promote equality for 2SLGBTQI+ people. The project will include the incorporation of the association as a non-profit organization to broaden its scope, as well as the development of human resources management and fundraising strategies to ensure the implementation and the sustainability of the strategic action plan developed. The project objectives are to incorporate the association, hold project advisory meetings, increase the number of members and their participation in activities, and finally plan consultation meetings with members.

Through this 42-month project, FOXY will develop, implement, and evaluate promising intervention practices that will advance knowledge and enhance empowerment supports for at-risk populations of gender-based violence in the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut. Specifically, the project will design and develop a culturally safe, Northern-focused, gender-based violence prevention program based on evidence, best-practices and trauma-informed pedagogy. Youth, Northern-based researchers, clinicians, community members, and Elders will participate in all aspects of the development of the intervention. Specifically, the project will focus on young Northern and Indigenous young women (including trans-women) participants and gender-diverse youth.

Through this 36-month project, the Sex Information and Education Council of Canada (SIECCAN) will develop and put in place a promising practice in the form of a strategy to increase the ability of educators to provide effective consent education to boys and Autistic youth, which will strengthen the GBV sector. It will address the needs of educators, Autistic youth, and boys, taking an approach that considers various intersecting identities. To do so, the project will implement two sets of the same activities, with one focusing on Autistic youth and the other on boys.

Through this 24-month project, Métis Central Western Region 2 Council Incorporated will develop and put in place the Heartbeat Trauma Release Method Therapy (HTR) with Indigenous girls, two spirit and trans youth experiencing gender-based violence to strengthen the GBV sector. The organization will work with their partners in the community and address the need to provide supports and services to Indigenous youth in Northern Saskatchewan who are at risk of perpetuating generational cycles of trauma and who struggle in their communities experiencing bullying, physical, mental, emotional abuse, and sexual exploitation.

To do so, the project will include hiring and training of staff on the Heartbeat Trauma Release Method Therapy, recruitment of Indigenous participants, adapting the HTR method, offering one-on one counselling and group therapy through healing camps, collection of feedback and recommendations from participants and the external evaluator, the creation of a manual and hosting a gathering for all participants. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the promising practice throughout the lifecycle of the project.

Métis Central Western Region 2 Council Incorporated will share the findings with the GBV Knowledge Centre and host a large gathering and invite all participants in all four cohorts to share their experiences while also sharing information on the promising practices so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.

Avian Influenza (AI) is a contagious viral infection that can cause severe illness and mortality in gallinaceous poultry (chicken, turkey, quails). It also has the potential to cross over to mammals, including companion animals such as cats and dogs. AI is currently diagnosed in the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) laboratories by molecular methods. This process is time consuming, labour intensive and requires expensive laboratory equipment. Keystone Labs Inc. aims to develop an easy-to-use, rapid and affordable lateral flow test for the detection of AI in the field. The proposed method is a polymer-based optical sensing device that detects AI virus and at the same time, H5 and H7 subtypes, with the same sensitivity and specificity as current molecular diagnostic tests used in the CFIA laboratory.

The proposed method involves the use of magnetic nanoparticles in combination with a magnetic lateral flow assay reader to detect AI and at the same time, H5 and H7 subtypes, with the same sensitivity and specificity as current molecular diagnostic tests used in the CFIA laboratory.

This project aims to address trade challenges in existing markets, identify new opportunities to diversify trade, and participate in priority events/areas adjacent to trade.
