Development of a multi-part project to bring northern sciences and cultures from the North to audiences (primarily) in southern Canada. Build capacity in northern and southern youth and amplify the voices and learning of northerners to increase awareness in lower latitudes of what the North is, who lives there, and why its health and the health and knowledge of its people are essential to a whole and happy Earth.

The program will connect youth across Canada learning with Narwhal scientists and knowledge holders. The program will pilot a youth-to-youth exchange between northern and southern Canadian schools.

A series of live online educational events connecting polar regional scientists, technicians, and knowledge holders and mobilizers with classrooms across Canada.

The purpose of this contribution is to provide funding for the installation of a closed circuit television system, fencing, gates and access control system.

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Centre Society will achieve this by influencing policies and procedures of local organizations and agencies to ensure Indigenous cultural sensitivities are reflected; by developing a supporting document to outline methods of inclusion and considerations; developing a guide with recommendations to address gaps in equitable culturally based services; and implement training on an equitable policy procedure for staff to address the systemic inequities facing Indigenous people related to violence, housing, employment, and childcare.

At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power, and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes.

This project will bring together Indigenous people with lived experience to document the challenges experienced due to the pandemic, identify gaps in services within the Vancouver Metro area, and create a formal policy procedure for internal staff and external stakeholders to implement assistance. A total of 60 staff members will receive training on bias-based inequities and the policy procedures for equitable Indigenous assistance will be shared with community health organizations and other partner stakeholders.

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Canadian Institute of Forestry (CIF) will achieve this by developing a governance structure through engaging and establishing working partnerships; building the evidence base through data collection on underrepresented groups in greater depth by region; fostering an inclusive culture by developing and providing training and skills development on improving the workplace culture; and repositioning the forest sector with communications strategies and progress tracking.

At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, and increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change to support women’s equality. CIF will also achieve this by supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power; and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes.

This project seeks to scale up a past successful project, Gender Equity in the Forest Sector National Action Plan, in accelerating progress on women’s equality and the equality of other under-represented groups in all employment categories in Canada’s forest sector. In this scale up, the project will increase networks and collaboration by leveraging existing National Steering Committee partnerships and build new regional committees in Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, Prairies and Pacific regions across the forest sector supply chain to provide strategic governance of the project.

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Fora: Network for Change will achieve this by designing and implementing policies and practices to increase women’s labour market participation and opportunities; engaging women and/or girls with lived experience to influence pandemic recovery responses; and designing and implementing policies and practices to increase women’s leadership in democratic, civic, public or private sectors.

At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices; increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change; and supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power to support women’s equality.

This project seeks to fight for a COVID-19 recovery that prioritizes girls’ and women’s full participation in the labour force, by placing young women with lived experiences of the pandemic in decision-making spaces across Canada. Task forces in the private sector, philanthropic, and public sectors will be included, and, as part of tracking participation in recovery committees and task forces across sectors, Fora will produce a first of its kind semi-annual tracker of recovery committees and task forces ("decision-making bodies"), and report on the number of younger women included on these bodies across Canada.

The additional funds will be used to improve communication materials and strengthen advocacy activities, including an advocacy webpage and an advocacy event.

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Foundation of Moms-in-Film Canada will achieve this by creating a technology-based solution to eliminate barriers of employment entry and retention of caregivers, primarily mothers in the screen industries. This technology will focus on solving logistics issues mothers face in gaining entrance and maintaining a career in the industry, including a specific focus on supporting Indigenous, Black, and other under-represented women’s groups needing better, more responsive access to childcare as supported in the Moms-in-Film’s national research which concluded in March of 2021.

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. National Aboriginal Capital Corporations Association (NACCA) will achieve this by building the capacity of its network of Aboriginal Financial Institutions (AFIs) across Canada to advance gender equality in their organizations and address barriers to entrepreneurship for Indigenous women by offering the training named ‘‘People-Centered Investment: Supporting the Potential and Power of Indigenous Women Entrepreneurs’, including a Gender-Based Analysis Plus lens. NACCA will also develop a number of profiles on diverse Indigenous women entrepreneurs and launch a national media campaign to increase awareness on and representativity of Indigenous women entrepreneurs with the aim to reduce the gender bias and discrimination they faced when trying to access business financing and services. Finally, a portion of NACCA’s Annual Prosperity Forum will be dedicated to Indigenous women entrepreneurship.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices; encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources; increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change; supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power; and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes of the system all to support women’s equality.
