Grants and Contributions

Oxfam Canada will achieve this by engaging underrepresented women, living in the Atlantic, Ontario, Prairies and Pacific regions, to inform and develop pandemic recovery responses that address intersectional barriers to early learning and childcare (ELCC) accessibility, affordability, quality and inclusiveness.

Acquire a 5-axis Computer Numeric Controlled waterjet table to increase capacity

"Mission on the Moon: An Educational Program for Canadian Youth" is a highly authentic and accessible learning experience for Canadian youth in the intermediate grades (grades 6 to 9) that explores Lunar Space Science through creative implementation of robotics that simulates a lunar rover. The six-module program will be appropriate for use in a diversity of learning contexts ranging from formal classroom instruction to informal camps and community organizations and it will consist of a comprehensive package including interactive and engaging modules for learners, an educator guide, and professional learning sessions.

The Outbound Student Mobility Pilot enables Canadian college and undergraduate university students to acquire in-demand skills through study or work abroad opportunities.

The objective of the Supports for Student Learning Program (SSLP) is to help all learners improve their educational outcomes throughout their life course so that they can get the skills they need to succeed in the labour market.

Co-creation activities, storytelling, and lessons learned from individuals with lived experience will support the development of policies and strategies tackling poverty, unemployment and housing.

This project aims to improve the capacity of United Nations peacekeepers through large-scale e-learning programs. These self-paced e-learning courses are delivered online at regional and national peacekeeping training centers before and during deployments and directly to individual peacekeepers within Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America and South Asia.

NextGen Environmental Research will also build a capacity for rapid classification of radar data into ice types and hazards using Deep Learning algorithms. The lake ice hazard monitoring service will process large volumes of radar image data to help make recreational and remote communities that rely on lake ice to travel more safely and be more climate resilient in the future.

The project will demonstrate the benefits enabled by a new generation of commercial position, navigation, and timing (PNT) satellites developed by Xona Space Systems. Ionospheric space weather, especially in the Canadian Arctic, can produce severe degradation of navigation and communications capability over land, sea and air. Xona’s powerful signals coupled with large satellite constellation size will produce an unprecedented quantity of high-quality radionavigation data that can be exploited in the domains of remote sensing and Earth Observation. By incorporating ionospheric data extracted from these new Xona signals, the project aims to improve the current state-of-the-art in real-time ionospheric sensing models.

With this project, the company will turn its prototype satellite-derived bathymetry into an operational product. Hydrographic survey companies can use maps of water depth to plan their surveys and avoid grounding their vessels in shallow water, engineering firms can use them to plan building of parts and shoreline protection, and shipping companies can use them in addition to official charts to safely navigate poorly charted waters of the Canadian Arctic. The need for information on water depth is growing as sea ice melts and an increasing number of vessels visit and cross Arctic waters each summer and fall.
