The potential impact of anthropogenic climate change on lung health is a “threat no less consequential than cigarette smoking”. The lung health?related impact of climate change is already being felt in the Inuit Nunangat region of Nunavik, Quebec. The need to mitigate impacts of climate change on lung health is particularly urgent in Nunavik due to the region’s existing vulnerabilities with respect to respiratory diseases – vulnerabilities rooted in social determinants of health and historical injustices, and whose impact is amplified by health service infrastructure gaps that represent a major disparity between Nunavik and the rest of Quebec. This project addresses Theme 2 of the CINUK Call for Research Proposals, “Mitigations & Adaptations for Resilience.” The two cross-cutting issues addressed are Inuit community health & well-being, and Resilience and sustainability. Our diverse coalition of researchers and community partners will interweave three streams of research activities, taking place in parallel: (1) community?based participatory research and implementation science methods are applied to design a Community Lung Health Programme with community members addressing lung health through a holistic biosocial paradigm; (2) engineering, microbiology, and epidemiologic methods are leveraged to develop a protocol that the Community Lung Health Programme can use to accurately measure built-environment-related determinants of lung health, and identify at-risk housing stock; (3) scoping and systematic review methods, and a pilot study, are applied to evaluate emerging technologies for point-of-care diagnosis or monitoring of respiratory diseases to reduce medical travel out of region.

Victims and Survivors of Crime Week projects provide an opportunity to raise awareness about victim issues and about the programs, services and laws in place to help victims and survivors of crime and their families.

The primary objective of the project is to provide the Osoyoos Indian Band with capacity to take part in planning activities and conduct engagement with Band members and adjacent bands, provide input from Syilx traditional knowledge and land use to guide boundary definition and future park management and explore models for co-operative management and make recommendations regarding the establishment of the South Okanagan-Similkameen national park reserve leading to signed park establishment agreements between Lower Similkameen Indian Band, Osoyoos Indian Band, Parks Canada and the Government of British Columbia.

The objective of this project is capacity building activities that build knowledge and skills related to renewable energy and grid modernization projects in Canada.
