Grants and Contributions

Community Facility : The project aims to build a multi-purpose center in the Timiskamig First Nation community in order to support the development of this community so that it can recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Community Facility: This project will construct a new recreation area in Amos to support the development of this community to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Community facility: The project aims to build a park with play modules, street furniture, water games and a sanitary block in the municipality of Sayabec in order to promote the development of this community so that it can recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Community Facility: The project aims to improve a 4.9 km section of the Beauharnois Regional Park's multifunctional bicycle path in order to promote the development of this community so that it can recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Commercialization strategy: The project consists of the national promotion of the 2022, 2023 and 2024 editions of the Pentathlon des neiges and the new ICEMAN challenge, a sports competition developed according to triathlon standards, which will take place at the same time.

This project aims to improve human rights related to the sexual and reproductive health of women and adolescent girls in the Bas-Sassandra district of Côte d'Ivoire. The activities of this project include: 1) providing technical assistance to local health authorities on planning, managing, and monitoring the delivery of gender-sensitive, inclusive, and accountable sexual and reproductive health services; 2) delivering a training program for health personnel on modern sexual and reproductive health approaches that respond to the needs of adolescent girls; 3) organize awareness campaigns on adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights that target community members, particularly parents, religious leaders, and adolescents; and 4) establish mobile teams to provide sexual and reproductive health and rights support to out-of-school youth. This project aims to directly benefit more than 165,000 adolescent girls and indirectly benefit 264,000 people, including 4,000 health and education sector intermediaries, and approximately 260,000 members of the target communities, particularly parents, religious leaders, and adolescents.

The 7th World One Health Congress (WOHC) will take place in Singapore in November 2022. Southeast Asia remains a hot spot for emerging infectious diseases. The region is home to concentrated population centres with high levels of socio-economic diversity and mobility, wide ranging human and animal health system capacities, one of the highest rates of deforestation globally and climate shifts that impact humans, animal and vector ecologies. Together, these contribute to a host of disease threats.

The Project will finance development of IP strategy within the Firm

At the University of Alberta and the NRC Nanotechnology Research Centre the Project team have developed atom crafting techniques that are world leading. While other approaches allow only cryogenically stabilized structures to be made, the Project team makes robust, electrically useful devices that stand up to the practical requirements of real-world deployment. The Project will include the deployment of the previously developed techniques to produce testable, exactingly reproducible and practically useable quantum metrology devices. The Project team will make an electrical current standard and a standard thermometer.

Sensing and imaging are fundamental components in a range of modern technologies. Quantum sensing is based on the potential use of quantum phenomena, i.e., superposition and entanglement, to improve the sensitivity and detection range of sensing devices, e.g., detecting and tracking single biomolecules.
