Propose methods adapted to estimate traditional and new forest attributes at the tree level from MLS point clouds, namely, height, tree horizontal position, diameter, stem taper, and crown dimensions and density, to implement a scientifically innovative procedure to estimate tree volume, biomass, for tree allometric development through analysis of the MLS point cloud, and to develop anew method to quantify 3D distribution of forest understory and vegetation layering composing the canopy.

The project will improve current or propose new methodologies for managing risk associated with currency exchange rates.

"This project will address safety concerns with the existing trail under Lorne Bridge adjacent to the Grand River. The project will realign the existing trail north of the embankment to move it away from the River to address the steep decline that currently causes many conflict points between pedestrians and cyclists.
This project will fill the current trail and close it and formalize the trail that exists north that is at a level grade which needs to be set with asphalt to be formalized."

The Township of Esquimalt aims to help construct 500m of protected bike lanes, one new pedestrian crossing, and signal upgrades to accommodate bikes. The project will take place on Tillicum Road between Craigflower Road and the Gorge Bridge, which is an important commuter corridor for the residents of Esquimalt and Saanich, alongside other municipalities in Greater Victoria, British Columbia. The proposed project will remove one lane of vehicle traffic to accommodate 500m of protected bike lanes. The bike lanes will be at least 1.5m wide with a 0.15m buffer from vehicle lanes and installed within existing curb, which is the constrained minimum. Installing the bike lanes requires Esquimalt to upgrade the Tillicum-Craigflower signal. Community engagements during the planning process strongly highlighted the need for an additional pedestrian crossing signal between Craigflower and the Gorge Bridge. The Township of Esquimalt is considering a new traffic signal to meet the needs identified by our community. Lastly, the Township plans to reduce speed limit from 50km to 40km along Tillicum. The main benefit is to address community identified safety concerns on Tillicum Road by providing protected bike facilities and a new signalized pedestrian crossing.

Retrofit of a community-owned building in Pond Inlet, NU to create an emergency men's shelter that will provide health, social, and cultural services to people in need. It includes upgrades to the building's envelope, insulation, doors, windows, and ceilings and the installation of new heating, lighting, and plumbing systems.

Purchase a wheelchair accessible van to add to the existing fleet and provide public transit to the communities of East Ship Harbour to Ecum Secum on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia.

Purchase an accessible electric van and associated charging infrastructure to increase transit services for the residents of the Municipality of Wawa, Ontario.

The contribution supports Kainai Nation, as part of the Lake Louise Indigenous Advisory Circle Working Group, to develop and review an Interpretive Plan for the design and presentation of Indigenous cultural content and stories in the Lake Louise area.
