Engage a consultant to develop master plan for Lookout Park

Acquire Robotic Equipment and Build Expansion

This project aims to advance the Firm's metabolomics profiling system into a scalable, high-throughput platform for clinical and precision health applications. Building on foundational work completed in the first year, the focus now shifts to upgrading lab methods and bioinformatics tools to support the processing of over 300 samples per day, validating the system with large-scale cohorts (~30,000 samples), and developing a prototype precision health platform that integrates analytics, a database, and AI-driven health assessment tools. The outcome will be a fully validated and operational system ready for commercial use in population-scale diagnostics and health monitoring.

Enhancement of Official Languages Program - Promotion of Linguistic Duality

Enhance and expand a tourism attraction that would draw visitation from abroad.

Establish production and testing facility to expedite commercialization

Expansion of facilities: The project aims to improve food security in the Inuit community of Kangirsuk by developing a community facility for seafood harvesting and processing.

Marketing strategy: The project aims to increase the sales of a company that developed an automated platform for background checks and intelligent people risk management.

This study aims to promote performance, health, and well-being among astronauts aboard the ISS. To this end, the Principal Investigator (PI) team will explore the complex interplay of stress, coping strategies, meaningful work, and self-transcending emotions (e.g., gratitude, compassion, awe). By employing both pre- and post-mission questionnaires and a novel adaptation of a "daily diary" method, the PI team aims to collect prospective, concurrent, and retrospective data over the course of a long-term mission.
When considering what predicts performance, health, and well-being, the PI team focuses on two related, but distinct processes.
- The first involves successfully navigating negative experiences. Specifically, the PI team will explore how astronauts aboard the ISS cope with daily stressors.
- The second involves successfully capitalizing on positive experiences. Specifically, the PI team will explore how astronauts aboard the ISS experience self-transcendent emotions, build meaning, and grow from their daily work.

Scalium™ is an innovative, ultra-resistant aluminum-scandium alloy, originally developed by Ferreol Technologies for the alpine skiing industry. With exceptional mechanical properties, Scalium™ currently outperforms typical aluminum alloys used across various industrial sectors. Initially produced in thin sheets, the alloy has now attracted major interest in the aerospace sector, where it could significantly reduce the weight of spacecraft components. This weight reduction would in turn lower operational costs, decrease the carbon footprint of space launches, and increase the capacity to integrate additional high-value equipment.

The present project aims to adapt Scalium™ into thick plates suited to aerospace industrial requirements. Following successful preliminary laboratory tests, the goal is to develop the large-scale manufacturing process, characterize its performance, and demonstrate its feasibility to specialized companies. One concrete application would target the next generation of Canadian satellites.
