This contribution supports two research projects (1) using distribution models to map locations of rare vegetation types throughout the Waterton Lakes National Park, and (2) assessing the effects of trails on plant communities.

This project is mostly related to addressing knowledge gaps.

The purpose of this contribution is to provide funding for time-limited security personnel as well as the purchase and installation of a fence.

Through this 15-month project, the Mouvement contre le viol et l’inceste / Collectif de femmes de Montréal (MCVI) will help prevent and address human trafficking. To do so, the MCVI will enhance its interventions to accommodate the specific needs of migrant women who have crossed the Darién Gap (a region linking Panama and Colombia). The widespread violence and forms of trafficking associated with this journey make these women’s trauma more complex, requiring tailored interventions. In addition, these women are at an increased risk of trafficking (for sexual exploitation and/or labour) after they arrive in Canada.

To achieve the project’s goal, the MCVI will enhance its promising practice for identifying and supporting trafficking survivors to reflect the complexity of the trauma these women experience. This will be done by organizing support groups and one-on-one meetings with survivors to adapt its approach and tools for intervention.

Through this 29-month project, YWCA Canada will scale its ‘Violence Against Women Staff Support Network’ to strengthen the GBV sector. It will scale the network to include gender-based violence service workers and, will address workers wellness, capacity, connectiveness, and retention. To do so, the project will include a national, bilingual, free, online hub for GBV support workers to access training, resources, tools, and community and peer-support. YWCA Canada will develop and launch a knowledge mobilization strategy to strengthen sector capacity and, to share information on the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.

Through this 28-month project, the Muslim Resource Centre for Social Support and Integration (MRCSSI) will conduct research that will help improve GBV services for at-risk groups. It will address the necessity of exploring the unique risk factors, needs, and experiences of immigrant and refugee women survivors of gender-based and family violence who come from collectivist backgrounds. To do so, the project will include collaborating with project partners to establish project governance and tools, engaging with the community, conducting data collection, analyzing data, and producing a report on the findings and recommendations. MRCSSI will develop a webinar and training materials, prepare slides and info-graphs to be presented at conferences, and publish their findings on the MRCSSI website to share information on the research findings.

Through this 29-month project, Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women (OCTEVAW), Vivic Research and partners will conduct research that will help improve GBV services for at-risk groups. The project will aim to better understand non-legal approaches to support racialized, newcomer, refugee survivors of gender-based violence. To do so, the project will conduct a targeted literature review and environmental scan; host community engagement sessions including one on one interviews with community stakeholders and engage gender-based violence advocates in research project. OCTEVAW and its partners including Vivic Research will host knowledge dissemination activities to share information on the research findings
