To support the federal government’s commitment to maintain a strong and effective publicly funded health care system through investments in emerging and demonstrated innovations in priority areas, such as palliative and end-of-life care, home and community care, mental health care and other federal, provincial-territorial and emerging priorities.

This project will modernize the Thessalon Memorial Arena and Curling Club to improve energy efficiency, environmental performance, and accessibility. Building and arena system upgrades will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and operating costs while enhancing overall facility performance. Accessibility improvements will support inclusive use of the facility, ensuring continued access to recreational opportunities and strengthening the arena’s role as a vital community hub for Thessalon and surrounding communities.

The objective of this AO is to support Canadian students to participate in national and international space conferences and training events that will offer them the opportunity to learn about and be involved in the latest developments in space science and technology, to develop their professional network, and in some cases, present their research results at the national and international level.

The Second Generation Balloon-borne Very Long Baseline Interferometry Experiment (BVEX2) aims to help astronomers map incredibly small and distant objects in space, like the regions surrounding supermassive black holes. By suspending a radio telescope from a stratospheric balloon above 99% of the Earth’s atmosphere, BVEX2 will demonstrate a new way to observe high-frequency light that is normally blocked by the atmosphere. This project will make the first demonstration that a telescope suspended from a stratospheric balloon can be used as part of an Earth-sized network of radio telescopes. The project will also serve as a pathfinder experiment that will develop technology that could be used for more sensitive high-frequency balloon telescopes to increase the number of mapped black hole shadows and eventually for a space interferometer that can map the regions around dozens of black holes.

The advanced growth chambers at the Controlled Environment Systems Research Facility (CESRF) at the University of Guelph can simulate conditions equivalent to those found on the Moon and Mars and will be used in this project to address four critical knowledge gaps in extraterrestrial plant production: Water and nutrient delivery, Crop performance, Multi-crop interactions, and Environment monitoring and control. The project will train HQP through hands-on experience with cutting-edge systems for extraterrestrial plant production and the research insights will inform the design of food production modules for Lunar and Martian habitats. Beyond space applications, the knowledge and technologies developed have potential spinoffs for CEA on Earth, particularly in extreme or resource-limited settings.

This project will use JWST/NIRSpec to confirm the first robust candidate for a Population III galaxy (ID16043) at redshift z = 6.5, enable detections of rest-frame optical lines in extremely faint galaxies and probe the existence of low mass black holes at high redshift. This will be the deepest medium-grating spectroscopy ever conducted by JWST in a gravitational lensing cluster field.
