Grants and Contributions

To provide funding for a recent graduate employed in the role of Junior Test Analyst and Developer and provide skills related to web application testing and development as a member of the Product development team actively involved in the entire software development lifecycle.

Blaise Transit, a Canadian transportation technology company, will expand its AI-powered on-demand transit software into New Zealand and Australia. The project focuses on securing pilot deployments, validating regional pricing, and establishing reseller partnerships.

This International Co-Innovation Action Program (ICAP) project will prepare the firm to enter into future international co-innovation work in France.

This project is mostly related to technology research and development.

This project will assess opportunities or diversification and optimization in a forest products facility.

The project advances the Government of Canada commitment to plant an incremental two billion trees by March 31, 2031, to tackle the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss.

This Project investigates the corrosion behaviour of reinforcing steel in low carbon concrete structures to advance durable and sustainable construction. This study aims to optimize concrete formulations using alternative cementitious materials, improve mix design strategies, and evaluate performance across varying environmental conditions. A key focus is understanding the influence of pore-solution chemistry, curing regimes, including carbonation curing, and binder composition on steel corrosion. This Project will also generate critical insights into how low-carbon systems affect corrosion initiation and propagation by integrating materials science with durability assessment. The outcomes will support the design of corrosion-resistant, low-carbon concrete structures with extended service life and reduced environmental impact, directly contributing to Canada's carbon reduction goals and infrastructure resilience.

The Project includes geotechnical design and site preparation for the future secondary treatment system, and upgrades to the primary treatment system at the Riverhead Wastewater Treatment Facility.

The Canada Avenue Active Transportation Corridor project will provide more than 835m of linear active transportation facilities in the form of new and accessible sidewalks, and a smooth surface multi-use path. In addition to these linear features, improved road safety and traffic calming will be included. This pathway will be a minimum width of 3.0m, while new sidewalks will be a minimum of 1.8m – the space required for two people using mobility devices to safely pass one another.

Dedicated pathway lighting and appropriate cabling has also been incorporated into this design to support other vulnerable populations. This lighting will improve personal and road safety conditions for all users dependent on active transportation for transportation – no matter the weather conditions or time. Boulevard space is also included wherever possible to increase separation between active transportation users and motor vehicle traffic, further improving conditions for more vulnerable users and strengthening the emerging all ages and abilities networks for both municipalities.

The corridor design incorporates pedestrian crossing flashers alongside two raised concrete sidewalks which will improve visibility of active transportation users, while acting as traffic calming when active transportation users are not present. These crossings will also improve transit integration by providing direct connections to transit stops and providing accessible transit waiting areas.

Traffic calming will also improve the overall safety for all road users. Traffic calming treatments along the corridor will include medians (1 – 3m widths based on available road right of way, some include pedestrian refuge areas), some curb bulging, and raised crosswalks (may function as speed tables).

The project will construct a 470m multi-use pathway (MUP) which is the second phase of the non-motorized pathway that will provide residents and visitors an accessible, separated, multi-use facility to walk, cycle, and roll safely between community destinations on Whispering Pines I.R. #4. This second phase will complete the off-road MUP on the east side of Westsyde Rd., which will be the first of its kind on I.R. #4. This MUP will help address safety concerns related to walking and cycling along Westsyde Rd. and encourage more active transportation use as the current roadway has no pedestrian or bicycle facilities or lighting.
