Grants and Contributions

This research will contribute to the understanding of the impacts of wildfire mitigation practices on northern boreal ecosystems. The results will be used to inform and guide necessary forest fuel management in a way that mitigates potential negative effects on wildlife, while preserving its effectiveness at reducing wildfire risk.

This research will study a new species of the zoonotic, muscle-dwelling nematode Trichinella, T. chanchalensis, which was recently described in wolverine in the Yukon and Northwest Territories, based only on molecular detection by answering these research questions: 1. What is the host range in the North of animals infected with the new species of Trichinella, Trichinella chanchalensis?
2. What is the geographic range of Trichinella chanchalensis?
3. What is the diversity, intensity, and prevalence of Trichinella species in the North?

This research project, guided by community priorities in all six Inuvialuit communities, addresses gaps in understanding the experiences of Inuvialuit youth and Elders within the ISR country food system and how culturally and locally identified avenues can support their participation in the country food system.

The proposed research aims to improve the understanding of groundwater-permafrost interactions to determine the vulnerability of existing groundwater resources to permafrost thaw and to inform future northern groundwater resource development under climate change.

This agreement supports the policing services for First nations communities within Treaty Three by conducting initiatives that would enhance policing in their areas, including conducting strategic planning and gaps analyses, upgrading technology, enhancing administrative support, expanding community engagement and education, and providing additional training for the Police Board.

This project will fund infrastructure projects, vehicles (ground & marine) as well as AXON body worn and fleet vehicle camera licenses to support the growth and continued operations of the Anishinabek Police Service (APS). This added funding will support improved safety conditions for detachment occupants, and police services that are professional, dedicated, and culturally responsive.

This policing agreement will implement dedicated, professional, and culturally responsive policing services for the communities served by the Wikwemikong Tribal Police Service, through the funding of activities, equipment, and personnel required to carry out these services.

To support the stabilization and expansion of the First Nation Community Safety Officer (FNCSO) pilot project in Saskatchewan by expanding the number of Nations served as well as increasing the number of FNCSO positions. This would result in the increased presence of dedicated and culturally appropriate community liaison and enforcement capacity in the identified communities.

This Agreement will fund the design phase of a new police facility in Curve Lake First Nation. The scope of this phase includes conceptual design, geotechnical and site surveys, schematic design, Class C cost estimation, and professional project management activities.

This project will enhance community-based policing for the Teslin Tlingit Council (TTC) community and improve on community connection, including the working relationship between TTC and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The Community Safety Officers (CSOs) will enhance community safety through proactive measures and projects, as well as provide low-risk responses to address community concerns, including incidents stemming from social issues such as addictions and mental health. The CSOs act as liaisons between local community members and the RCMP to ensure police response considers TTC culture and traditions.
