Grants and Contributions

Grant as part of the Participant Funding Program to Métis Nation British Columbia (MNBC) to assist in preparing for and engaging in Indigenous consultation activities and public participation opportunities associated with the assessment process for the Eskay Creek Revitalization Project.

Contribution as part of the Participant Funding Program to Biigtigong Nishnaabeg (Ojibways of Pic River No. 50) First Nation to assist in preparing for and engaging in Indigenous consultation activities and public participation opportunities associated with the assessment process for the Marathon Palladium Project.

This project aims to promote Canada's commitment to quality, safety, resilience and sustainability in its agricultural sector, while also acknowledging the incredible developments in agriculture technology that will usher in the next generation of high-performing farmers and ranchers.

Support strategic investment to reposition product for domestic and international markets

Installation of a new accessible front entrance

Retrofit of an Indigenous Daycare and HeadStart facility in Grouard, AB to improve the quality of life for its members and to reduce the building's energy costs. It includes upgrades to the building's lighting, HVAC, and water systems.

The satellite market is currently shifting toward LEO constellations. Those new missions calls for phased array antennas which up to now are typically operating in single polarization. Combining two phased array antennas in a dual polarization operation represents a great advantage in terms of real estate and cost effectiveness, both aspects being crucial for satellite operators.

The project purpose is to develop the necessary technologies to enable the combination of two polarization in one phased array antenna. This requires developing antenna architecture but also advanced Radio frequency (RF) components in order to maximize efficiency and reduce the electronic front end foot print.

The expected outcome will be a reference architecture and electronics to support MDA’s new product line of dual polarization phased array antennas.

Those LEO constellations will ultimately provide broadband access to remote parts where it is not economically viable to develop traditional broadband services and help closing the digital divide.

Satellites are critical infrastructure in our technologically advancing world. Daily, we use satellites to navigate, predict weather, and communicate. A successful cyberattack against space infrastructure could be devastating. To prevent such attack, satellites encrypt their communications using keys loaded before launch. If those keys are ever compromised after launch to space, there is no way to load new keys.

QEYnet is developing a solution to this problem using a technology called quantum key distribution (QKD). In QKD, keys are sent to the satellite using photons. Due to the laws of quantum mechanics, any attempt at eavesdropping on a QKD system can be detected, making the keys highly secure.

Though QKD does hold incredible promise, imperfections in the QKD hardware can result in unintended security vulnerabilities. This project will further advance QEYnet’s testing of novel countermeasures to these vulnerabilities, and advance QEYnet’s QKD technology toward commercial readiness.

Integrating Digitalized Mandatory Courses on Gender Competency in Public Administration in Turkmenistan under the project "Assistance in realization of the National Action Plan of Turkmenistan in the field of human rights for 2021-2025 (NHRAP 2021-2025)”

This project will enable CoSA Canada to build on their commitment to understand the experiences and needs of victims of sexual harm. CoSA has articulated a clear commitment to restorative justice principles and the centering of victim experience. This project will enable the CoSA Canada network to actualize this commitment in several phases of development including consultation, design, implementation and evaluation.
