Grants and Contributions

This project consists of a study focused on deepfakes to provide DND/CAF with insights on how best to counter and/or leverage deepfakes in service of strategic defence priorities.

Grant awarded under the Research Program to Saint Mary’s University (Linda Campbell) to assist in facilitating the development and use of rigorous and innovative science, techniques and methods to ensure the conduct of high quality assessments and assessment decision-making based on science and knowledge.

To support efforts to build climate-resilient and low-carbon health systems, and protect and improve the health of people living in Canada in a changing climate, including from extreme heat, through better understanding of risks and successful adaptation options, and building capacity to address and implement them.

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.

The purpose of this Contribution is to provide funding to this local Indigenous community organization to enhance their security. The population that uses the facility will feel safer from hate-motivated incidents/crimes following the purchase of anti-graffiti coating and the purchase and installation of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in their community gathering space.
