Grants and Contributions

This project builds on the existing “See It, Name It, Change It” initiative—a community education campaign originally developed by Lanark County Interval House and Community Support to increase awareness of the warning signs of Intimate Partner Violence and promote safe, informed intervention in rural communities. With support from Lanark County Interval House and Community Support, Ottawa Victim Services has adapted and urbanized the campaign for Ottawa’s diverse, densely populated environment. This project seeks to further adopt this shared program to integrate education about Canada’s new Red Flag laws into the campaign to expand public knowledge, reach high-risk populations, and prevent firearm-related harm before it occurs.

The project focuses on ecosystem changes driven by beaver activity across aquatic and terrestrial environments and their impacts on community wellbeing. Using a community monitoring app, the research aims to connect ecological changes to Inuvialuit wellbeing, aligning scientific monitoring with holistic Inuvialuit knowledge systems. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems, particularly in the context of food sovereignty and security, as beaver activity can affect access to important subsistence resources like fish and terrestrial fauna.
