The purpose of this CanExport SMEs agreement is to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for activities related to export market development that are part of an export business case for a specific target market, particularly where activities are targeting departmental priority markets and sectors.

The planning project is comprised of a series of activities that will focus on the integration of regional transit and housing, alignment with federal objectives and metrics, and engagement with stakeholders, including Indigenous peoples, to support the development of an Integrated Regional Plan.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) provides humanitarian assistance to populations facing a heightened risk of vulnerability, including internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, migrants and host communities. IOM provides assistance in multiple sectors, including protection, shelter, emergency non-food items, water, sanitation and hygiene services, livelihoods, and camp coordination and management. This grant supports IOM’s objective of saving lives and responding to needs through humanitarian assistance and protection in Bangladesh, Mozambique, South Sudan, and other countries in Africa.

With the support of GAC and other donors, IOM is facilitating access to essential relief items and adequate living conditions for crisis-affected populations, including IDPs, refugees, migrants, returnees and host communities. Project activities include: (1) providing emergency shelter kits, non-food items and multi-purpose cash; (2) coordinating camp management, site care and maintenance; (3) deploying mobile teams to remote locations where affected populations lack water, sanitation and hygiene services; (4) providing health support, mental health and psychosocial support in humanitarian response; (5) providing emergency water, sanitation and hygiene; (6) providing support services for humanitarian organizations by establishing humanitarian hubs in deep field locations; (7) data collection, including mapping of vulnerable populations at points of entry and at the district and community level, to enhance targeting and delivery of humanitarian assistance; and (8) ensuring protection and gender mainstreaming across humanitarian response activities for extremely vulnerable individuals, including unaccompanied migrant children, single women, and adolescent girls.

March 2025 - A 7.7 magnitude earthquake and a 6.4 magnitude aftershock struck central Myanmar on March 28, 2025, resulting in extensive destruction and loss of life. A state of emergency has been declared in six regions – home to over 28 million people. The earthquake compounds an already fragile situation driven by an ongoing conflict, displacement and past disasters.

With GAC’s support, the Canadian Red Cross Society and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies are working to save lives and help reduce the suffering of people affected by the earthquake. Project activities include: (1) providing multi-purpose cash to meet basic needs and avoid negative coping strategies; (2) distributing in-kind relief items such as food, non-food items, and emergency shelter support; and (3) providing emergency healthcare and protection services, including mental health and psychosocial support

The project aims to maintain, restore, or improve meaningful and safe participation outside the home (e.g., in community or public settings) for people living with mild cognitive impairment or early-stage dementia (PTCLD). The Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5 technology solution consists of a smart insole with location and activity tracking capabilities, allowing PTCLDs and care partners to define personalized safe zones and guidance and assistance protocols. The solution includes a chipset integrated into a shoe insole, a background IoT platform, and a mobile app to enable the user to interact with the device. As part of the project, a dementia-friendly web interface and user experience will be designed, integrated, and iteratively evaluated through a mixed-method case study (n = 8–10 in Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia, 3–5 months/case, in home and public settings). The project will promote the commercial maturity and relevance of the smart insole solution, foster partnerships between government and communities (with a view to the subsequent TRL 6 project), and generate scientific evidence on the technology and out-of-home participation for PTCLDs and their care ecosystem.
