Retrofit a community facility in Thunder Bay, ON that accommodates various ice and non-ice programs/events, with opportunities existing for hosting additional concerts, multi-sport games and championship events.

The City of Vancouver Central Library Branch has been in operation for more than 25 years. The current cooling systems are operating beyond their useful life. The City wants to increase the Library's energy efficiency and reduce the GHG emissions that the Library produces.

This project proposes to undertake a planning process to inform a future capital project to build an extension to the Friendship Trail to connect and extend through Mount Currie. The planning project will promote awareness of the proposed trail with a view to encouraging the use of active transportation in the community. The planning process intends on establishing community needs, determining the best route, confirming the asset management plan, gaining approvals and rights of way, and preparing the foundations for a future capital project. Full details of each project part are outlined in the budget & timeline attached. These activities are a requirement of the SLRD prior to initiating processes to secure funding for a future capital project to build the trail. The SLRD planning application is aligned with Líl¿wat processes and protocols.

This project aims to consolidate social cohesion in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger by addressing conflict triggers, including online information monitoring. It also aims to promote credible, factual and constructive information. The project focuses on a regional approach by supporting national early warning systems that allow a collaborative risk management approach. This regional approach adopts greater flexibility to redeploy activities to other areas when required.

Project activities include: (1) creating a digital threat monitoring training program for civil society actors; (2) producing and disseminating positive and inclusive message on social medias in response to violent digital threats and disinformation; and (3) organizing local, national and regional forums to facilitate the coordinated, positive and inclusive management of digital threats with civil society, local authorities, law enforcement, and security forces.

This project aims to scale up gender-inclusive investment in agriculture and food systems that reduce poverty, adapt to climate change risks, and mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through responsAbility’s Climate Smart Agriculture and Food Systems.

This project will support the first phase of the National Outbound Mobility Survey

This research aims to develop the Pitch REsolving Spectroscopy for Electron Transport (PRESET) CubeSat (small satellite). The PRESET project will develop cutting-edge technologies for space radiation detection, magnetometry, digital signal processing, satellite communications, and attitude determination and control which will have a significant impact on Canada’s space industry and economic growth.

A primary goal of the project is to increase insect farm yield and to determine how to best manipulate diet content (Entomo-Alliance Project Objective 1) and environmental context (Entomo-Alliance Project Objective 2) to improve rearing facilities and practices and testing these findings at the cricket farm (Entomo-Alliance Project Objective 3). With support from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), additional personnel will be added to these ongoing projects to build a sustainable circular food system (CSA funded project Objective 1). Circular food systems and colony monitoring will be essential components of future deep space travel, and this project will help place Canadian industry and academics at the global forefront of discovery in deep space food production.

This project is an extension of the Silva21 Alliance project, which aims to provide tools and practical solutions to adapt forest management practices and improve both resistance to stressors and resilience to disturbance in Canadian forests. The project framework involves a series of three themes i.e.

The Western Skylark CubeSat will provide space-based data collection for both Motus and ICARUS to give near real time capabilities to the data flow from these systems. This project will demonstrate the full potential of these two systems while collecting novel data on migratory songbirds, waterbirds, and shorebirds.
