Grants and Contributions

The objectives of the program are to:.•Support greater influence and control over Indigenous ELCC programs and services by Indigenous peoples;.•Improve quality and accessibility of Indigenous ELCC with an emphasis on cultural and language content;.•Support a more holistic and integrated system of quality ELCC services for Indigenous peoples; and.•Adapt and improve existing federal programs to be more flexible, adaptable and horizontal across federal departments as a first step prior to transferring control..

NCGC is proposing to host an UNLEASH Canada Regional Innovation Lab, a 7-day innovation in-person conference that would bring together global talent from across the circumpolar north for events that aim to build capacity and generate innovative solutions.

Lab participants would be youth aged 18 to 35. It will benefit up to 200 Canadian youth, including 100 from the Territories and northern Canada, and 100 from Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and Denmark, including Faroe Islands and Greenland), for a total of 300 youth.

The UNLEASH Regional Innovation Labs are ongoing events (in average every 2 years), and the next one will take place in Canada

We will build a recurrent inference machine (i.e. a type of neural network) that can successfully deconvolve the intrinsic X-ray spectrum of a source from the XRISM instrumental response function.

Science North will reimagine the visitor experience in Space Place to engage audiences in a series of exhibits related to Canada and the Moon, increasing young Canadians’ awareness of Canadian Space projects and interest in pursuing STEM education and careers. Exhibits will explore the Canada’s participation in the Artemis Program, as well as the work that Canadian space scientists are doing to drive next-generation technologies for space exploration, including a range of opportunities for lunar science, robotics, AI and lunar rover technology.

In this exhibit, children will have the opportunity to learn about the process of designing and building technology such as the Canadarm3, other Gateway modules, and lunar rover components; transporting people into space and to the Moon via the Artemis Missions; and how ongoing research can be applied to the wider exploration of the galaxy.

This project aims to broaden the reach and impact of astronomy and space science educational programming for Black, Indigenous and Youth of Colour in Nova Scotia. Recognizing the importance of inclusive and equitable access to astronomy and space science education, "Project Luna" will incorporate culturally responsive programming and look to fostering spaces of belonging with all participants. This program will empower and foster youth leadership skills while promoting interest in and awareness of astronomy and space science.

This project aim to design a new student experience by building on the strength of an existing School Program that has served the school communities for decades. This renewed classroom program will immerse students in the topics of sky science, space exploration, and the upcoming Artemis space missions. The new program titled "Mission SPACE: Artemis Edition" will take place in our iconic S.P.A.C.E. exhibition and focusses on Canada’s role in moon exploration, with special attention paid to the Artemis program.

The main objectif of the project is to inform and educate the youth and their educators on the innovation within outer space travel and Canada’s contribution to space exploration. The public will be enlightened and ‘wow’d as they experience maneuvering a virtual space robotic arm, rounding out their education and experience of Canada’s contribution to space exploration and the rest of their outreach educational programming. This program will be accessible for groups throughout the province and taken on the road with our GO! Science Outreach team.

Image analyses utilizing machine learning (ML) approaches have the potential to dramatically improve crop phenotyping.

In concert with First Nation citizen knowledge holders and Elders, students will conduct snow and ice science activities, do baseline assessments of available flora and fauna and local geomorphology, and buttress that data with learning and traditional environmental knowledge provided by around seven VGFN citizens.
