Grants and Contributions

The purpose of this contribution is to provide funding for referral based project for people at risk of radicalization to violence in British Columbia and aims to address the risk of IMVE events and to promote public safety by providing vulnerable individuals with multi-sector interventions thereby countering the root process of radicalization-to-violence at the individual (secondary) level.

Through this 36-month project, the Yukon Aboriginal Women’s Council (YAWC) will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, with a focus on 2SLGBTQQIA+ Indigenous people in the Yukon and northern British Columbia.

YAWC will undertake a series of operational improvements to ensure it can continue to provide sustainable, long-term programming and services to women, girls, and gender-diverse people in the Yukon and northern BC. This will include providing annual cultural support and resiliency training to address burn-out and potential re-traumatization of staff and volunteers. The organization will increase the efficiency of its systems and processes, to improve internal organization and human resources. YAWC will also develop a financial sustainability plan and a contract template toolkit.

By the end of the project, YAWC will have strengthened its capacity to prevent and address GBV against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, with a focus on 2SLGBTQQIA+ Indigenous people in the Yukon and northern British Columbia.

Through this 13-month project, AGIR: Action LGBTQ+ avec les immigrantes et réfugiées will develop community-informed solutions to key barriers and gaps facing LGBTQ2 communities. This will be achieved by the elaboration of a 5 year strategic plan; the engagement in community based knowledge activities to adapt a care model to LGBTQ+ migrants and refugees and by the development of multilingual tools for LGBTQ+ migrants and health care and social service practitioners.

Through this 28-month project, Opokaa'sin Early Intervention Society will increase its ability to prevent and address gender-based violence (GBV) against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, with a focus on Indigenous women and 2SLGBTQQIA+ individuals living in southern Alberta who identify as members of the Blackfoot Confederacy. This will be achieved by undertaking organizational learning to address key information gaps, and to create knowledge-based resources that aim to increase understanding of Indigenous gender and sexual diversity and prevent sexualized forms of violence against Indigenous women and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people; expanding organizational networks through the formation of an Opokaa’sin-centred relationality network that will work towards advancing a Blackfoot vision of gender justice; collaborating on initiatives to drive change, including the development of Blackfoot gender relationality agreements and wise practices for government policies and community projects; and developing advocacy strategies in service of honouring, promoting, and supporting Blackfoot gender diversity and inclusion.

This project will engage community members and various local Indigenous groups and agencies in guiding the creation of a framework for hearing and propelling Blackfoot perspectives on gender violence prevention and gender justice. The approaches taken will be Blackfoot-grounded and will incorporate conventional perspectives from knowledge keepers and Elders, along with the diverse lived experience knowledge held by Blackfoot women and 2SLGBTQQIA+ community members.

By the end of the project, Opokaa'sin Early Intervention Society will have strengthened its capacity to prevent and address GBV against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, with a focus on Indigenous women and 2SLGBTQQIA+ individuals living in southern Alberta.

Through this 13-month project, Egale Canada will develop community-informed solutions to key barriers and gaps facing 2SLGBTQI communities. This will be achieved by a virtual postsecondary symposium of 2SLGBTQI students, academics, intersectoral youth-led organizations and allies. This symposium will build tools informed by Egale Canada’s literature review of "gender critical" movements in Canada and refined by participants’ lived experiences. A working group will be formed to facilitate discussion at the symposium, then refine these tools and implement them in at least four universities representing four different regions across Canada.

The short-term impact will be increased knowledge, tools, and resources in the hands of 2SLGBTQI post-secondary communities, tangible strategies for active resistance to anti-gender hate, and preliminary insight into the implementation of these tools.

This 13-month project will develop community-informed solutions to address the main barriers and gaps facing LGBTQ2 communities. Measures that will be taken by the Comité FrancoQueer de l’Ouest to achieve this will involve establishing an advisory committee and hiring a community development and liaison officer to build organizational capacity as well as develop the project plan, a survey, and an informational document in collaboration with various key partners from the community. At the end of the project, the Comité FrancoQueer de l’Ouest will gather perspectives on 2SLGBTQIA+ issues and analyze the data.

This project is to create a sound customer support department and user on-boarding process

The Ocean Frontier Institute's proposed solution for a more accurate and holistic measurement of the ocean’s ability to continue to absorb carbon is a North Atlantic Carbon Observatory, and is currently seeking broad international support and suggesting that Canada has a unique opportunity to lead this work. An observatory would provide data and measurements to enhance the global understanding of the capacity of the North Atlantic Ocean to continue to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Development of this solution complements the NRC/DFO Atlantic Science Enterprise Center which focuses on Canadian freshwater and coastal regions. NRC and DFO have been conducting research on estuary respiration within the Atlantic Science Enterprise Center (ASEC) since 2020. Results obtained have shown the capacity of AI and Machine Learning to model changes in dissolved oxygen concentrations which assist in the understanding and anticipation of catastrophic anoxic events as well as a gain in knowledge on carbon sequestration.

The purpose of this agreement is to increase awareness, availability and use of lower carbon vehicles and fuels in Canada by supporting the installation of approximately 23 electric vehicle chargers in Québec.
