Development of Official Language Communities Program - Community Life

This project outlines a 30-day deployment model designed to provide scalable and coordinated services in both medical first response and psychosocial support, in response to Manitoba's request for federal assistance due to active wildfires. The deployment will be structured with rotating teams to ensure sustained coverage for evacuees while allowing for responder rest and continuity of operations. The plan is designed to be flexible and will be adapted as necessary, in alignment with local and provincial needs.

The purpose of this agreement is to assist Métis Nation-Saskatchewan in reviewing the environmental assessment (EA) and licence application for Denison’s Wheeler River Project and in participating in a future Commission hearing process.

The project will create prototypes that are able to integrate with Digital Trust Canada's national registry and develop content provenance systems to detect AI manipulation, as well as design architectures for transparent data routing control. By addressing critical gaps in data origin verification and foreign routing visibility, this initiative positions Canada as a global leader in democratic data governance while ensuring interoperability with international standards including EU's Gaia-X framework.

This project focuses on advancing natural fibre pressed panels, a greener alternative for construction and automotive uses. This project will cover Phase II: Performance Validation of Hemp-Based Panels for Automotive and Construction Sectors.

Pilot and validate a scale-up process for manufacturing wood-based rigid insulation foam panels for construction industry.

Smart speakers are the most popular smart home device in Canada and millions of Canadians use voice assistants like Alexa or Siri on a daily basis. However, smart speakers – and other voice-activated devices such as phones, wearables, and cars – do not only record conversations, they can also automatically produce biometric voice profiles of adults and children.

The primary objective of this project is to map the array of applications for health-related machine listening to identify privacy risks and protect the privacy rights of Canadians. This will be achieved through multi-method research and an impactful digital literacy campaign. The first study maps the industry of health-related machine listening to identify information risks that fall under the scope of PIPEDA. The second study investigates the privacy policies that cover health-related voice data to see how the basic principle of consent is being fulfilled or not. And the final study identifies risks of significant harms related to health-related machine listening. Knowledge translation activities will target four segments of the public: citizens/consumers, digital literacy stakeholder organizations, privacy regulators and policy makers, and the private sector.
