Grants and Contributions

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.

“Space STEM Activities for Lunar Robotics and AI” will aim to deliver interactive experiences to youth (grades 6 to 12 - Cégep 1 in Québec) across all Canadian provinces and territories through multiple streams: in-class workshops and activities, virtual presentations, and educational and interactive website, teacher training workshops, camp programs, and an adaptation of the Mission Control Academy. These hands-on learning experiences will educate youth on the use of AI-enabled robotics such as machine learning, career options in AI, and the development of robotic arm missions.

This will be accomplished in the following ways:
• Through partnership and joint management of distinctions based investments that will enhance and expand Indigenous ELCC, and support the transfer of ELCC to Indigenous organizations;
• Strengthening foundational supports for Indigenous ELCC through, for example, Indigenous led quality improvement projects; and
• Adapting and improving existing federal programs to be more flexible, adaptable and horizontal across federal departments as a first step prior to transferring control, so that programs cohesively support the goals of the Framework including supporting self determination.

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

This will be accomplished through the creation of a regionally focused, educational exhibit that will showcase the economic and historic importance of the Intermodal Port of Johnstown. Tourists will learn about the journey of crops from farms to storage, distribution and transport.
